A new AI accelerates laser simulations for X-ray experiments by a factor of 250 and is revolutionizing modern physics.

When lasers were invented in the 1960s, they opened new avenues for scientific discovery and everyday applications, from scanners at the grocery store to corrective eye surgery. Conventional lasers ...

Stanford researchers have built titanium-sapphire (Ti:Sa) lasers that are 10,000 times smaller than previous ones, and have also fit them onto a chip. Until now, such lasers have cost upwards of ...

Dr. Kulikov became a part of the Department of Physics in 2022. Prior to that, he earned his Ph.D. in Physics (with a focus on Applied Optics) from Lomonosov Moscow State University in 2011 and began ...

A new scientific proposal outlines how placing ultrastable lasers inside the permanently shadowed craters of the Moon could ...

A new way to gauge distance using lasers can measure lengths of more than 100 kilometres to within a thousandth of the width of a human hair, and could be used to make better space telescopes. In ...

Last year marked the 270th anniversary of Benjamin Franklin’s lightning rod — but it’s more than a relic of history. The Franklin rod remains in use today because the simple design exploits some ...

While the world continues to fixate on AI, there are still plenty of high performance computing workloads that need doing and a speedup to any one part can have a big impact, whether it be ...

Researchers are developing a new, military-grade "quantum laser" that can cut through fog and operate across long distances. The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has awarded a $1 ...

Engineering physics is a combination of electrical engineering and physics, which means you'll typically start by taking courses and labs such as calculus, chemistry and physics, as well as some ...
