Vacuum-based electron acceleration may be useful for laser plasma fusion
UPTON, N.Y. – A proof-of-principle test has demonstrated that an electron beam can be accelerated by a laser in free space, a feat never before accomplished at such high energies. The breakthrough may have implications for laser plasma fusion as a new energy...
Electrons Accelerated by Laser in a Vacuum
LOS ANGELES, March 1, 2013 — Accelerating a free electron with a laser has been a longtime goal of solid-state physicists, and now two UCLA scientists have demonstrated the acceleration of electrons by a laser in a vacuum.
Nanolens Microscopes Detect Viruses Such as Flu
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 24, 2013 — As the flu spreads like wildfire across the US, quickly diagnosing patients with aches, pains, fever and chills has never been more important. A new optical microscopy method aims to do just that by using tiny liquid lenses that self-assemble around...
Dark matter halos may contain stars
LOS ANGELES and IRVINE, Calif. – Stars kicked to the edges of space during violent collisions and mergers with other galaxies can get tossed into large, invisible cocoons of dark matter, which might explain why astronomers say they see more light in the universe than it seems they...
Photonics Industry Undaunted by Uncertainty
Jan 1, 2013 — Despite lingering economic concerns, the photonics community is looking ahead to a brighter future – even if it means more work in the short term. Ask members of the photonics industry to describe the current state of the market, and the word...
