In a striking glimpse into extreme physics, scientists have captured the split-second chaos that unfolds when powerful laser ...

The latest dark matter experiment kicks off this week, as physicists aim to identify the universe's most enigmatic particles. Reading time 2 minutes Long tubes, strong magnets, and bright lasers. Is ...

In a world-first, physicists from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf and Forschungszentrum Jülich have shown that helium-3 ions retain their spin alignment during laser–plasma acceleration. This ...

Radiative shocks are a class of shock waves in which the transport and deposition of radiation play a central role in modulating the shock’s structure and dynamics. These phenomena are not only ...

Alpha Centauri sits more than four light-years away, close enough to fascinate generations of dreamers and far enough to make ...

An international team of physicists has achieved a significant advance in laser science, demonstrating for the first time a ...

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 ...

A laser communications experiment flying aboard NASA’s Psyche mission has beamed back a video to Earth from nearly 19 million miles (31 million kilometers) away — and the short clip stars a cat named ...
