The mission of the Zebra Pulsed Power Lab (ZPPL) is to perform high-quality basic research in the area of high-energy-density (HED) physics, the study of matter under extreme conditions of temperature ...

A single, ultrafast laser pulse has flipped the polarity of a ferromagnet without first heating it to the brink of losing its magnetism, pointing to a new way to write data at extreme speeds with far ...

Researchers at the University of Basel and the ETH in Zurich have succeeded in changing the polarity of a special ferromagnet using a laser beam. In the future, this method could be used to create ...

Muons are unstable subatomic particles that spontaneously and rapidly transform into other particles via a process known as electroweak decay. Altering the speed with which muons decay into other ...

What occurs when you subject a metal renowned for its stability, blast it with a laser pulse only 45 femtoseconds in duration, and heat it to 19,000 kelvins but it won’t melt? Physicists had long ...

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has raised global concerns over our unpreparedness to contain highly contagious diseases. SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, can survive for multiple days on ...

TUCSON, AZ / ACCESS Newswire / September 5, 2025 / Applied Energetics, Inc. ("AE") (OTCQB:AERG), a leader in ultrashort pulse directed energy and laser systems, announced a major milestone in its ...

Here’s What You Need to Remember: For the United States and other nations that are developing laser weapons to destroy fast-moving or hard-to-hit objects such as ballistic missiles or drones, the ...
