Scientists have unlocked a revolutionary way to generate proton beams using high-powered lasers and a simple stream of water.

Scientists have developed a method for generating fast, bright proton beams using a high-repetition-rate laser-plasma ...

Achieving practical interstellar travel requires overcoming the immense challenge of reaching extraordinary velocities. To send a spacecraft, weighing roughly 1,000 kilograms, to a neighboring star ...

When patterned as diffractive lenses, LCPGs can provide non-mechanical control over beam divergence and variable focusing. These dynamic elements enable a range of applications, such as machine vision ...

Here the authors demonstrate the generation of multi-MeV protons at 5 Hz, with low (degree-level) proton beam divergence from a laser pulse focused onto a water sheet target, potentially ...

depending on the transmitted laser beam divergence, the FOV of the receiving telescope and the angle between the axes of the laser beam and telescope. The processed data are already corrected for this ...
