Researchers have designed and demonstrated an ultraviolet laser that removes a major bottleneck in the development of a nuclear clock. Whereas ordinary atomic clocks keep time using transitions of ...

Quantum entanglement, the strange link that ties two particles together so that measuring one instantly reveals something about the other, is usually manufactured with a laser. Researchers shine a ...

Darwin Quiroz is exploring new frontiers in miniature lasers with major biomedical applications. When Quiroz first started working with optics as an undergraduate, he was developing atomic ...

Magnetic reconnection is a process that occurs when the magnetic fields of a conductive plasma quickly rearrange and release massive amounts of stored magnetic energy. It is widely thought to be the ...
