Femtosecond laser-induced periodic surface structures can be used to control thermal conductivity in thin film solids, report ...

Ultrashort laser pulses—that are shorter than a millionth of a millionth of a second—have transformed fundamental science, ...

In a first, researchers from the U.S. and Germany excite Thorium-229 in opaque material, advancing optical nuclear clocks.

German project aims to turn fusion lasers into industrial systems capable of 15 shots per second for 24/7 power plants.

What occurs when you subject a metal renowned for its stability, blast it with a laser pulse only 45 femtoseconds in duration, and heat it to 19,000 kelvins but it won’t melt? Physicists had long ...

Last year marked the 270th anniversary of Benjamin Franklin’s lightning rod — but it’s more than a relic of history. The Franklin rod remains in use today because the simple design exploits some ...

Prototype quantum photonic-dimer laser uses entanglement to bind photons and deliver a powerful beam of concentrated light that can shine through adverse weather like thick fog. When you purchase ...

A large part of the analog world is focused on sensors and their related interface circuitry. In many cases, the physical variable to be sensed is obvious, such as temperature, pressure, vibration, ...

In today’s rapidly changing technological landscape, the traditional lines between science and engineering are increasingly blurred. As an engineering physics major, you will gain the scientific rigor ...

Students typically do not delve deeply into the science of mechanics until early college introductory physics and engineering courses. Teaching mechanics in these classes is no small task. To build ...

Researchers develop an industry-scalable method to tune thermal conductivity in thin films using femtosecond lasers.

Engineering physics is a combination of electrical engineering and physics, which means you'll typically start by taking courses and labs such as calculus, chemistry and physics, as well as some ...
