Lasers are known for the monochromatic nature of their light, so much so that you might never have thought there could be such a thing as a white laser. But in the weird world of physics, a lot of ...

Caltech scientists are developing laser-driven lightsails that could push spacecraft beyond our solar system. Their research ...

Diddams was part of a team led by JILA's Jan Hall that first pioneered frequency comb lasers in the late 1990s. Hall would go on to win a Nobel Prize in Physics for this work in 2005. As these ...

The development of laser–plasma accelerators began in the ... by high-energy particles is a major subject in radiation physics and in nuclear technology, with implications on nuclear reactor ...
