Scientists at the LOA (Laboratoire d’Optique Appliquée) in France succeeded for the first time to drive at a thousand shots per second a so-called plasma mirror in the relativistic regime, i.e. with a ...

Nuclear fusion comes in all shapes and sizes, and while donut-shaped tokamaks are the most common, many companies and universities are investigating other ways to bring star power in cheaper and more ...

Laser-driven 'mirrors' capable of reflecting or manipulating light have been produced in research led at the University of Strathclyde. The 'mirrors' exist for only a fragment of time but could help ...

In a recent study published in Communications Physics, an international team of researchers led by the University of Strathclyde have made strides in reducing the size of ultra-high power lasers by ...

The high-energy radiation that carries orbit angular momentum has become an extremely important tool to investigate the angular momentum-related physics in the microworld. But the generation and ...

A flying mirror made by blasting a gas of electrons and ions with a powerful laser could help solve a long-standing mystery known as the black hole information paradox. This paradox arose in 1974 when ...
