Physicists at the UK’s Central Laser Facility have recorded the first observation of quantum radiation reaction, detecting how electrons lose energy in ways that classical physics cannot explain when ...

The famous double-slit experiment, which demonstrated that light is both a wave and a particle, has been performed using “slits in time”. The techniques involved present a new way to manipulate light ...

The Tibet ASγ Experiment has successfully, for the first time, measured magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence on scales below one parsec (approximately 3.3 light-years) within the gamma-ray halo ...

When the massive upgrade at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory is completed later this year, experiments at the powerful X-ray light ...

Scientists demonstrated X-ray four-wave mixing to track correlated electron motion, revealing how energy and information move inside atoms and molecules. Much of the behaviour of matter arises not ...
