Scientists have developed a method for generating fast, bright proton beams using a high-repetition-rate laser-plasma accelerator. This work, published in Nature Communications, resolves several ...

Laser-driven ion acceleration in plasma is being proposed as a source of ion beams with a high peak current that can be useful in many fields of science and medicine. Using this method, high proton ...

Perhaps the most precise method of guiding munitions to a target is with a laser device, ‘painting’ the target so that munitions can lock on and follow the beam. However, in order to do this, military ...

A powerful new ‘force multiplier’ for small units who can now designate targets with standoff from a rucksack-portable drone WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Teledyne FLIR Defense, part of Teledyne ...

Understanding dense matter hydrodynamics is critical for predicting plasma behavior in environments relevant to laser-driven inertial confinement fusion. Traditional diagnostic sources face ...

Nanoparticles exhibit distinct physical and chemical properties compared to bulk materials, making them valuable in applications such as electronics, photovoltaics, catalysis, and biomedical sciences.
