The U.S. Army is issuing the call to develop an ultrashort pulse laser. The laser is designed to unleash “enormous power” in a fraction of the time a regular laser weapon lasts. The weapon should have ...

Remote material analysis that exploits a mobile terawatt laser could have a range of up to 1 kilometer. Researchers from France and Germany say that they have found a way to extend the detection range ...

The Nature Index 2024 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

A team of researchers from Germany has published details of what it believes is the first direct diode-pumped laser to produce terawatt peak powers. The system relies on a ytterbium-doped calcium ...

Researchers at the Max Born Institute for Nonlinear Optics and Short Pulse Spectroscopy (MBI) have reached a new milestone in few-cycle pulse generation, breaking a 10-year-old record and achieving ...

The U.S. Army wants to develop a new laser weapon that is more powerful than existing weapons by nearly three orders of magnitude, but lasts just a fraction as long. The service posted a notice for ...
