A team from the Max Born Institute (MBI) in Berlin and DESY in Hamburg has built the world’s first plasma lens capable of ...

If we had one of these as a kid, we would have had an easier time staying in school and off the hard drugs. It’s the Plasma Light Bulb, a scaled-down version of that freaky sci-fi plasma globe that ...

Scientists have reached another milestone in developing a promising technology for accelerating particles to high energies in short distances: They created a tiny tube of hot, ionized gas, or plasma, ...

When I created a lightsaber that heats metal at high temperature and published it on YouTube, I was criticized that 'this is just a heated stick, not a lightsaber', so I actually made a fictitious ...

Explosive bursts normally seen only on the surface of the sun can now be captured in a 13-foot-long tube using lab-created plasmas and bursts of laser light. Physicists have created a scaled-down ...

In the Nature Photonics article, the researchers show that the plasma lens can focus attosecond pulses across different ranges of XUV light, with a tunable focal length controlled by the plasma ...
