Researchers from North Carolina State University have used laser ablation to create ultra-stretchable, superomniphobic materials without the use of harsh chemical solvents. The materials—which are ...

Sykes also cautions against the opposite mistake: overinterpreting a positive result. Subclinical exposure to Leptospira species is common, meaning a positive test—such as a visible red line or blue ...

Scientists in Scotland have shown that a type of laser already similar to the one currently used in routine eye surgery could one day help surgeons remove unwanted tissues, such as tumors, with ...

A core tenet of quantum theory was imperilled this year when a team of researchers put forward a radical new interpretation of an experiment about the nature of light. At the centre of the new work ...

Physicists spotted a “terribly exciting” new black hole, doubled down on weakening dark energy, and debated the meaning of quantum mechanics. It in no way reflects my feelings toward Quanta staff ...

Engineering and laser company Trumpf, the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology (ILT), and the Dahlem Center for Complex Quantum Systems at the Freie Universität Berlin are working together to ...

Physicists have heated gold to over 19,000 Kelvin, more than 14 times its melting point, without melting it, smashing the long-standing “entropy catastrophe” limit. Using an ultra-fast laser pulse at ...

Get to know the Monport GA60 MOPA Fiber Laser in this quick introduction! Learn its features, capabilities, and how it can take your engraving and marking projects to the next level. #MonportGA60 ...

For 26-year-old Dani, the quote on her ribcage once meant everything. "It was something about freedom and finding yourself," she says with a smile that edges toward embarrassment. "Now I just want to ...

Scientists at the University of Oxford have unveiled a pioneering method for capturing the full structure of ultra-intense laser pulses in a single measurement. The breakthrough, published in close ...

The Mamyshev oscillator (MO) is a type of fiber laser capable of producing high-energy laser pulses at a tunable repetition rate. It is a mode-locked laser which uses light travelling within a ...
