Researchers used ultrafast lasers to accelerate electrons over a compact distance to speeds typically only achieved in particle accelerators the size of ten football fields.
This ultrafast quantum computer, which uses ultrafast lasers to manipulate cold atoms trapped with optical tweezers, is expected to be a completely new quantum computer type
Researchers have successfully used laser cooling on radium ions for the first time. Given that lasers are known for heating things up, laser cooling may seem a contradiction in terms.
A new cloaking device that breaks through some of the limitations of previous devices, using inexpensive and widely available materials has been developed at the University of Rochester.
