Credit: Institute for Basic Science University of Tokyo Ever since the existence of molecules was proven and molecular reactions were predicted, humans have wanted to visually observe how such events proceed. Such observations of single-molecule reactions are highly important for the fundamental understanding of chemical sciences, which would aid in the development of novel catalysts, materials, or drugs, and help us decipher the complex biochemical processes. However, this was not possible for...

Charging Your Tesla Could Be As Simple As Going for a Ride “Imagine you’re driving your Tesla, or an equivalent electric car, down the highway. Your battery is running low. Sure, you could pull off at the next exit and spend time, and energy, searching for a recharging station. Or you could simply change lanes and drive over special charging strips embedded in the road,” wrote David Nutt for the Cornell Chronicle about new research focused on an innovative approach for the wireless chargi...

Highest intensity laser ever Credit: Chang Hee Nam, CoReLS After a decade of work, researchers at the Center for Relativistic Laser Science (CoReLS) at the Institute for Basic Science in South Korea have achieved a record-high laser pulse intensity – over 1023 Watts per centimetres squared (W/cm 2). This is equivalent to focusing all of the light reaching Earth from the Sun onto a spot just 10 microns wide – just a little bigger than the width of a human red blood cell. It beats the 1022 W/...

Scientists Demonstrate Record-Breaking Laser Pulse Intensity Using Petawatt Laser Using a petawatt laser, scientists have demonstrated the highest laser pulse intensity of more than 10 23 W/cm 2. This laser intensity—which is 10 times more than the one reported by a research team from the University of Michigan in 2004—took more than 10 years to reach this record-high intensity. Researchers created high-intensity pulses using the petawatt laser (pictured) at the Center for Relativistic Lase...

Shifting the impossible to the inevitable A Private ARPA user manual Stay in the Loop How can we enable more science fiction to become reality? Looking to successful outliers from history is a good place to start. After digging into why DARPA works, I asked the follow-up question: how could you follow DARPAs narrow path in a world very different from the one that created it? This piece is my answer. It both describes and provides a roadmap to actualize a hybrid for...

23 W/cm 2, an intensity equivalent to concentrating the entire luminosity of the Sun into an area the size of a small office desk. And yes, the desk would be absolutely decimated under those conditions.  The achievement, reported in the journal Optica, is more than a 10-fold improvement on the previous highest intensity achieved in 2004 at the University of Michigan. The creation of an ultra-intense laser beam requires two crucial things. You have to have a very powerful laser and you have t...
