Laser experiment to explain dark-matter mysteries 31 Jul 2006 A dark matter particle known as the axion, formed by the interaction of a laser and a magnetic field in high vacuum, could be the key to a ...
This is a one-quarter segment of the primary mirror used in laboratory testing of the Large Optics Demonstration Experiment (LODE). The Department of Defense in 1977 initiated R&D into a space-based ...
First imaging of free nanoparticles in laboratory experiment using a high-intensity laser source Date: September 9, 2017 Source: Forschungsverbund Berlin e.V. (FVB) Summary: In a joint research ...
With a suite of reimagined instruments at SLAC's LCLS facility, researchers see massive improvement in data quality and take ...
A Chinese satellite has set a new record by transmitting data from 36,000 km using a 2-watt laser, achieving speeds of 1 Gbps. The breakthrough triggered viral claims that it had “pulverized” Starlink ...
MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum physics. Their findings demonstrate, with atomic-level precision, the dual yet evasive nature of ...
The first net-positive shot, for example, required 300 megajoules to power the laser system alone. But they are continued proof that controlled nuclear fusion is more than hypothetical.
ABSTRACT A sodium laser guide star (LGS) experiment for astronomical adaptive optics (AO) using a diode‐laser pumped sum‐frequency laser is described. Results of the LGS experiment from 1997 October ...
This creates something akin to a fiber-optic cable made of air: Instead of a transparent core covered in plastic cladding that guides light in conventional fiber optics, the dense air acts as the ...
Experiment resolves century-old optics mystery 13 Jan 2009 After 100 years of conflicting experimental results, a team from China believe that it has finally unravelled the puzzle surrounding the ...
