Murnane, Kapteyn and their students are no stranger to powerful lasers. The researchers and their colleagues previously pioneered the design of tabletop X-ray lasers. These machines emit beams of ...

High-energy lasers can burn drones in the sky like a blowtorch. But they can be stymied by weather, and making them at scale will be a challenge.

The vacuum ultraviolet region is the area of the electromagnetic spectrum lying between X-rays and visible light. It is characterized by very short wavelengths between about 100 and 200 nanometers.

Physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have demonstrated a new kind of vacuum ultraviolet laser that is 100 to 1,000 times more efficient than existing technologies of its kind. The ...

The U.S. military is rapidly advancing high-energy laser weapons as a cost-effective alternative to traditional missile ...
