Reaching 2 petawatts of power, the NSF-funded ZEUS facility at the University of Michigan supports research with potential ...

The subatomic particles called neutrinos are famously elusive. But an unconventional trick could make a laser beam of the aloof particles.

Dozens of times over the last decade NASA scientists have launched laser beams at a reflector the size of a paperback novel about 240,000 miles (385,000 kilometers) away from Earth. They announced ...

At any given moment, trillions of particles called neutrinos are streaming through our bodies and every material in our ...

In this video, a powerful laser is tested on different colored balloons with surprising results. A black balloon pops almost ...

The universe is filled with magnetic fields. Understanding how magnetic fields are generated and amplified in plasmas is essential to studying how large structures in the universe were formed and how ...

Lightning rods have been used to guide lightning strikes for centuries, but now scientists have demonstrated something a bit more advanced than a humble metal stick. Beaming a high-powered laser into ...
