Duke Quantum Center researchers use a neutral-atom platform to simulate unusual localization effects that could underpin robust quantum information storage.
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 United Kingdom recently committed hundreds of millions of pounds to a directed-energy weapon designed to shoot down fast-moving drones, and a separate line of physics research suggests that the ...
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 ...
Lucian Hand argues that physicists’ multi-disciplinary training makes them ideally suited for a career in the laser industry, where the challenges and opportunities vary almost daily (Courtesy: UAB ...
