The universe is filled with magnetic fields. Understanding how magnetic fields are generated and amplified in plasmas is essential to studying how large structures in the universe were formed and how ...

When two black holes merge or two neutron stars collide, gravitational waves can be generated. They spread at the speed of ...

When one of Hye-Sook Park’s experiments goes well, everyone nearby knows. “We can hear Hye-Sook screaming,” she’s heard colleagues say. It’s no surprise that she can’t contain her excitement. She’s ...

Scientists have for the first time observed how atoms in magnesium oxide morph and melt under ultra-harsh conditions, providing new insights into this key mineral within Earth's mantle that is known ...

Radiative shocks are a class of shock waves in which the transport and deposition of radiation play a central role in modulating the shock’s structure and dynamics. These phenomena are not only ...

Researchers have developed a method that could one day be used to build roads on the moon. The novel approach, described in a proof-of-concept study published in the journal Scientific Reports, would ...

Researchers set a record by guiding light in 45-meter-long air wave-guides. It's not at every university that laser pulses powerful enough to burn paper and skin are sent blazing down a hallway. But ...

The properties of dense helium (He) — which happens to be a principal constituent of giant gas planets like Jupiter — at thermodynamic conditions between those of condensed matter and high-temperature ...

Laser experiments that appeared in short video clips show light interactions with objects. So this is why Trump didn’t want ...

Three laser experiments today: laser-induced electroless copper plating, laser-assisted electroplating on stainless steel, ...
