Femtosecond laser-induced periodic surface structures can be used to control thermal conductivity in thin film solids, report researchers from Japan. Their innovative method, which leverages ...

Ultrashort laser pulses—that are shorter than a millionth of a millionth of a second—have transformed fundamental science, ...

In a first, researchers from the U.S. and Germany excite Thorium-229 in opaque material, advancing optical nuclear clocks.

Prototype quantum photonic-dimer laser uses entanglement to bind photons and deliver a powerful beam of concentrated light that can shine through adverse weather like thick fog. When you purchase ...

While the world continues to fixate on AI, there are still plenty of high performance computing workloads that need doing and a speedup to any one part can have a big impact, whether it be ...

High-powered titanium:sapphire lasers have been shrunk down with scientists planning to cram hundreds or thousands onto a four-inch wafer in a new chip. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

Laser cooling and optical refrigeration are advanced techniques that utilise the interaction of laser light with matter to remove thermal energy from solids. Based on the principles of anti-Stokes ...

Last year marked the 270th anniversary of Benjamin Franklin’s lightning rod — but it’s more than a relic of history. The Franklin rod remains in use today because the simple design exploits some ...

The program will include lectures by leading scientists (30 min.), as well as oral (15 min.) and poster presentations by scientific and pedagogical workers, engineers, graduate students and students ...

The Department of Physics and Engineering Physics offers major programs of lecture and laboratory instruction leading to the bachelor of science in physics and the bachelor of science in engineering ...

Engineering physics is a combination of electrical engineering and physics, which means you'll typically start by taking courses and labs such as calculus, chemistry and physics, as well as some ...
