Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered climate change, space rockets, mathematical puzzles, dinosaur bones, black holes, supernovas, and sometimes, the drama of philosophical ...

In high-intensity laser–matter interactions, including laser-induced particle acceleration, physicists generally want to work ...

The film discusses Galileo's contributions to the laws of motion and gravitation, emphasizing that all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their weight. It recounts the legend of Galileo ...

You're sitting in physics class, working on a traditional problem involving forces and acceleration, when you start to wonder where these terms even came from. Were they just dreamed up to bring ...

The future of particle acceleration has begun. Awake is a promising concept for a completely new method with which particles can be accelerated even over short distances. The basis for this is a ...

The ultra smooth mirror was required to enable the researchers to perform experiments on electron acceleration in medium density gas jets, with the subsequent goal to ...

Controlled direct acceleration of electrons in very strong laser fields can offer a path towards ultra-compact accelerators. Such a direct acceleration requires rectification and decoupling of the ...
