When two black holes merge or two neutron stars collide, gravitational waves can be generated. They spread at the speed of light and cause tiny distortions in space-time. Albert Einstein predicted ...

Radiative shocks are a class of shock waves in which the transport and deposition of radiation play a central role in modulating the shock’s structure and dynamics. These phenomena are not only ...

With dual lasers, researchers have accelerated a high-quality beam of electrons to 10 billion electronvolts in just 30 centimeters. The experiment gives scientists a 'frame-by-frame' look at how a ...

For decades, scientists studying laser-assisted electron scattering, a technique known as LAES, have relied exclusively on linearly polarized light, where the electric field oscillates in a single ...

For the first time, a quantum radiation reaction in strong electromagnetic fields has been demonstrated experimentally by allowing electrons to collide with an extremely intense and powerful laser ...
