Muons are unstable subatomic particles that spontaneously and rapidly transform into other particles via a process known as ...

NASA has successfully transmitted data between Earth and two spacecraft using lasers, completing a groundbreaking experiment that could aid in future missions to other worlds. When you purchase ...

According to Fermilab, the interferometer will occupy a 328 feet shaft at its facilities. This was used years ago for access ...

The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory launched the Space Wireless Energy Laser Link—or SWELL—late Tuesday to demonstrate laser power beaming in space as part of a scheduled Defense Department Space Test ...

A new experiment has demonstrated something that sounds physically impossible – light itself casting a shadow. It turns out that if you manipulate a laser just right, then hit it side-on with another ...

View from inside the OMEGA target chamber during a direct-drive inertial fusion experiment at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics, which is leading a new multi-institutional inertial fusion energy hub ...

Long tubes, strong magnets, and bright lasers. Is that all it takes to entice the shyest particles in the universe to reveal themselves? Physicists working on the ALPS II experiment certainly hope so, ...

In a discovery that could reshape how we view and understand the human brain, researchers have successfully passed a laser beam through an entire human head. While it may sound like science fiction, ...

The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory is set to launch the Space Wireless Energy Laser Link (SWELL) to demonstrate laser power beaming in space as part of the scheduled U.S. Department of Defense Space ...

You can gaze upward at night to see a veritable ocean of stars, but the visible parts of the universe are just a fraction of the total. The rest, we think, is dark matter and dark energy, which are by ...

The University of Rochester’s Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) is one of only several facilities in the world where scientists are studying laser-driven inertial confinement fusion (ICF) for ...
