The world's first 40000 watt groove laser cutting machine is put into production in China

The Helmholtz Dresden Rosendorf Center (HZDR) has made significant progress in laser plasma acceleration. By adopting innovative methods, the research team successfully surpassed previous proton acceleration records significantly.They obtained energy for the first time that can only be achieved in larger facilities so far. As reported by the research team in the journal Nature Physics, promising a...

In a significant leap in quantum nanophotonics, a team of European and Israeli physicists introduced a new type of polarized cavity and redefined the limits of light confinement. This groundbreaking work was detailed in a study published yesterday in Natural Materials, showcasing an unconventional photon confinement method that overcomes the traditional limitations of nanophotonics.For a long time...

With the prominent energy issues in various countries around the world, the utilization and development of energy have become a hot topic, and the demand for renewable energy is constantly increasing. The existing underwater infrastructure is no longer sufficient and needs to be dismantled using appropriate modern technology. For example, in order to increase the power of offshore wind power plant...

Recently, Sivers Semiconductors, a leading supplier of integrated chips and photonics modules for communication and sensing solutions, announced a significant strategic initiative:It will divest its subsidiary Sivers Photonics Ltd, which has signed a non binding letter of intent (LOI) with byNordic Acquisition Corporation and plans to achieve independent listing through a merger. This move aims ...

RIKEN's two physicists have achieved extremely short laser pulses with a peak power of 6 terawatts (6 trillion watts) - roughly equivalent to the power generated by 6000 nuclear power plants. This achievement will contribute to the further development of attosecond lasers, for which three researchers were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2023. This study was published in the journal Nature Ph...
