In a quiet suburb south of Paris, inside a high-tech facility backed by some of Europe’s top research institutions, sits a ...

We’ve seen laser-based accelerators before. If you want a history of particle accelerators, we can help you there, too.

The most powerful laser in the U.S. just fired up to full strength for its first official experiment—and it’s an absolute ...

Years of construction, calibration, and expertise is showcased in an astoundingly short amount of time. ZEUS’ 2 petawatt ...

The ZEUS laser facility at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor has roughly doubled the peak power of any other laser in ...

Driving the compact plasma accelerator MAGMA, the innovative laser has been shown to accelerate 100 particle bunches per second. This increased repetition rate opens the path to actively stabilize ...

The new technique could be a key step towards the development of compact, inexpensive alternatives to conventional particle accelerators. In an LWFA, a dense plasma is created by focusing an intense ...

(Courtesy: HZDR/Blaurock) Physicists in Germany say they have passed an important milestone in the development of laser-driven, plasma-based particle acceleration. Proton pulses with energies as high ...

So what will an ultra-compact, high-energy particle accelerator be good for? Perhaps to drive an X-ray free electron laser, which could potentially take slow-motion videos at the atomic or ...

This new funding round enables TAU Systems to open the doors of the first privately owned and operated laser-particle accelerator in Carlsbad, California, and to begin work with its first customer ...
