Scientists have achieved a historic first using lasers to study electron behaviour, revealing new insights into how light ...

Physicists at the UK’s Central Laser Facility have recorded the first observation of quantum radiation reaction, detecting how electrons lose energy in ways that classical physics cannot explain when ...

Physicists have forced light to behave like electrons trapped in a magnetic field, reproducing the quantum Hall effect with photons for the first time. The experiment, carried out on an optical fiber ...

Physicists have detected laser-assisted electron scattering using circularly polarized light for the first time, revealing new ways to probe atomic-scale chirality.

Scientists have discovered a way to make molecules sitting on a flat surface rotate together using extremely short flashes of ...

Fusion energy, the result of two lighter atoms coming together to form a heavier one, can release massive amounts of energy without harmful carbon pollution, making its potential widespread use a goal ...
