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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new way to gauge distance using lasers can measure lengths of more than 100 kilometres to within a thousandth of the width of a human hair, and could be used to make better space telescopes. In ...

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 ...

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 ...

The application of laser radiation to initiate and control molecular processes has emerged as a transformative approach in chemical physics and separation science. By precisely targeting specific ...

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 ...

Professor Caio Bragatto helps his students Thursday during an engineering lab at Coe College in Cedar Rapids. The private school will launch a new Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree, offered ...
