Researchers have demonstrated an innovative technique for increasing the intensity of lasers. This approach, based on the compression of light pulses, would make it possible to reach a threshold ...

Since the advent of lasers, researchers have strived to build an acoustic equivalent — devices that can amplify and emit sound waves at a single frequency. Kerry Vahala and his group at the California ...

Free-electron lasers (FELs) represent a transformative technology in the generation of coherent X-ray pulses that are both remarkably bright and ultrashort in duration. By utilising relativistic ...
