ONR Initiative to Construct Model of Solid-State Laser Weapons for Navy Operations

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) recently declared their intent to create a prototype of solid-state laser weapon. These laser-based weapons will enable the sailors to combat small boat threats and aerial targets without the need for bullets. The prototype will however represent multi-mission capabilities of a Navy ship on board.

Burst-Mode Laser Captures Combustion Details

In the search for alternative fuels, scientists need tools to take snapshots of combustion reactions that happen at short time scales. American researchers have devised a new-type of burst-mode laser that provides bursts lasting 10 times longer than previous examples—enough to enable “movies” of these reactions.

Attosecond Lighthouses May Help Illuminate the Tempestuous Sea of Electrons

Physicists have long chased an elusive goal: the ability to “freeze” and then study the motion of electrons in matter. Such experiments could help confirm theories of electron motion and yield insights into how and why chemical reactions take place. Now a collaboration of scientists from France and Canada has developed an elegant new method to study electrons’ fleeting antics using isolated, precisely timed, and incredibly fast pulses of light.
