Researchers from Skoltech, MEPhI, and the Dukhov All-Russian Research Institute of Automation have proposed a new method to create compact gamma-ray sources that are simultaneously brighter, sharper, ...

File this under: things that sound like science fiction but are 100% real. A researcher at the University of Colorado Denver has developed something that, on paper, sounds impossible—a chip the size ...

Since the laser was invented in the 1960s, scientists have been working to increase lasers’ peak power and to design machines producing coherent light at progressively shorter wavelengths that can ...

Schematics of the all-optical nonlinear Compton scattering experiment showing laser-driven electron acceleration, electron-laser collision, and Compton scattering to produce gamma rays. In a ...

The standard view of gamma-ray bursts as a signature for different types of dying stars might need a rewrite. Recent astronomical observations, supported by theoretical modeling, reveal a new ...

Federal money to allow U.S. and European collaboration to study coherent light sources beyond x-rays. Combining Rochester’s theoretical expertise with ELI Beamlines’ experimental skills. U.S. Federal ...

A newly funded research project combines the theoretical expertise of University of Rochester scientists with the theoretical and experimental capabilities of ELI Beamlines in the Czech Republic.
