Physicists are learning to carve laser beams into intricate shapes that can grab hold of electrons and push them with a precision that once sounded like science fiction. Instead of simply blasting ...

Laser-assisted particle interactions and scattering represent a rapidly emerging field in high-energy and quantum physics, where the interplay between intense electromagnetic fields and particle ...

Researchers from Trinity College Dublin's School of Engineering have built a powerful new machine that lets us watch precisely what happens when tiny particles—far smaller than a grain of sand—hit a ...

Conceptual illustration of micronozzle acceleration (MNA). A solid hydrogen rod is embedded in an aluminum micronozzle, which channels and focuses plasma flow to optimize proton acceleration. Osaka, ...

One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the ...

For the first time, physicists have watched a beam of positronium, a short‑lived atom made of an electron and its antimatter ...

Laser-induced alignment boosts single-particle imaging by improving molecular orientation, enabling clearer 3D structure recovery of proteins and macromolecules. (Nanowerk News) Single-particle ...
