Xcimer Energy today announced that it completed experimental shots at the University of Rochester’s Laboratory for Laser ...

The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory is set to launch the Space Wireless Energy Laser Link (SWELL) to demonstrate laser power beaming in space as part of the scheduled U.S. Department of Defense Space ...

An experiment at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s (LLNL’s) National Ignition Facility (NIF) appears to have approached fusion ignition as it recreated the extreme temperatures and pressures at ...

Solar cells and photocathodes made of copper oxide might in theory attain high efficiencies for solar energy conversion. In practice, however, large losses occur. Now researchers has been able to use ...

Even scientists who were skeptical of work at the National Ignition Facility called the results a success. By Kenneth Chang Scientists have come tantalizingly close to reproducing the power of the sun ...
