Concurrent to that, there seems to be renewed interest in doing experiments with soft X-Rays (light in the wavelength ... some of the biggest, baddest laser experiments you will ever meet.

The world's brightest laser — which is so powerful that it can produce light pulses that are 1 billion times brighter than the surface of the sun — can "transform" visible light into X-rays ...

This week has been laser week at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, with two very different laser-based programs hitting major milestones: an inexpensive array of lasers on a single ...

These record-breaking X-rays will be produced at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, which has upgraded its Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) X-ray laser to be the fastest and brightest in ...

Radiologists and biologists have been dreaming - ever since the discovery of lasers - of a compact laboratory source emitting X-rays in one direction in a laser-like beam. Such a source would ...

Whereas the wavelengths of traditional lasers run the gamut from infrared to X-rays, a gamma-ray laser relies on light waves even smaller than X-rays. For instance, the antimatter-powered laser ...

the US Air Force deployed the technology for its giant flying laser programme. Lasers, Death Rays, and the Long, Strange Quest for the Ultimate Weapon is not an easy story to tell, given the vast ...

A team of researchers has successfully demonstrated nonlinear Compton scattering (NCS) between an ultra-relativistic electron beam and an ultrahigh intensity laser pulse using the 4-Petawatt laser.

These applications of gamma rays are effective and important, but a hypothetical gamma ray laser must be stronger, more coherent, and more stable. Mills has determined a concrete theory that ...

To keep commerce flowing while maintaining an eye on nuclear terrorism and smuggling, a team of scientists at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) is developing a laser-based X-ray machine ...
