Try to fathom the power of 1 million nuclear power plants. Now, imagine there is a way to pack the equivalent of that into ...

Scientists have created an ultrashort electron beam with five times more peak current than any other similar beam on Earth.

Knowledge of a laser beam's shape and output-power distribution is critical for optimizing laser performance. Neil Savage summarizes the latest beam-profiling products on the market. People using ...

Of these processes cutting demands the most power – usually a beam of more than 1 kW. “Laser diodes, and solid, or fibre, lasers are the main technologies used in manufacturing today ...

The PHR-803T was designed to read HD-DVDs so can focus a beam to far below 0.01 mm. They got autofocus working with the UV laser, but couldn’t use it on the PCB without curing the photoresist.
