Whenever light hits an object, some of the light scatters back from the surface of the object. However, if the object is moving extremely fast, and if the light is incredibly intense, strange things ...

Scientists at the University of Oxford have unveiled a pioneering method for capturing the full structure of ultra-intense laser pulses in a single measurement. The breakthrough, published in close ...

Physicists at the University of Oxford have unveiled a “pioneering” method for capturing the full structure of ultra-intense laser pulses in a single measurement. The breakthrough, a collaboration ...

First predicted by Einstein more than a century ago, lasers have shaped our modern technological landscape. But how do they work? When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Using advanced computational modeling, a research team led by the University of Oxford, working in partnership with the Instituto Superior Técnico at the University of Lisbon, has achieved the ...

The controversial idea that quantum effects in the brain can explain consciousness has passed a key test. Experiments show that anaesthetic drugs reduce how long tiny structures found in brain cells ...
