In a historic first, US researchers in collaboration with partners around the world, have been able to control the direction of a laser's output beam by applying external voltage.
One of the world’s fastest detectors, capable of capturing images in billionths of a second, has been developed by the UK for use at the world’s largest X-ray laser, the European XFEL.
A team of British and Czech researchers have announced that they've constructed and fired a 1000-watt "high peak power laser". This laser is reportedly ten times more powerful as any other of its kind.
Ordinary lasers emit photons that have nearly identical frequencies, but for …
