Muon beams can now be created in a device that is the length of a ruler.

Researchers who make the coldest plasmas in the universe just found a way to make them even colder — by blasting them with lasers. The scientists cooled the plasma to around 50-thousandths of a degree ...

Plasma, ionized gas and the fourth state of matter, makes up over 99% of the ordinary matter in the universe. Understanding its properties is critical for developing fusion energy sources, modeling ...

With dual lasers, researchers have accelerated a high-quality beam of electrons to 10 billion electronvolts in just 30 centimeters. The experiment gives scientists a 'frame-by-frame' look at how a ...

The U.S. Navy has patented technology to create mid-air images to fool infrared and other sensors. This builds on many years of laser-plasma research and offers a game-changing method of protecting ...
