For the first time, researchers have demonstrated that a laser-plasma accelerator can reliably drive a free-electron laser ...

When laser flashes hit matter, electrons are knocked off their orbits around the atomic nuclei. This can generate extremely ...

Researchers have been focusing on non-thermal atmospheric-pressure plasma as a treatment method that can shorten recovery times, such as for tendon repair. Using a helium plasma jet, they demonstrated ...

Professor Dayne Swearer found that bursts of plasma convert methane into methanol without high heat and pressures.

Aiming to shorten fracture recovery times, a research group is focusing on plasma irradiation as a treatment method to speed up bone healing. "Break a leg!" is a welcome blessing of good luck, but who ...

Enhancing with argon. To further enhance the process, the team diluted methane with argon, which is typically an inert noble ...

The problem they are solving is a universal one: sticky, dangerous bacteria. In the medical world, these biofilms are the ...
