As the power of laboratory lasers increases, aspheric lenses and mirrors have been pushed to deliver extremely high intensities.   Around the world, nuclear research laser facilities are increasingly using powerful, amplified, ultrashort-duration pulses of coherent light in order to deliver massive energy densities at a given target. Synchronizing the delivery of these high-power pulses creates extreme conditions, in which scientists can carry out state-of-the-art nuclear research.   It also...

Image Credit: Mo-Sci Corporation The glass annealing process relieves internal stresses, which could otherwise leave it vulnerable to fracturing or shattering in response to minor mechanical or thermal shock. This makes annealing a crucial step in the manufacture of robust, stable, and heat-resistant glass. Why Anneal? Physically speaking, glass is a rather unusual material. Most solid materials are significantly ‘ordered’ with their constituent molecules or atoms in a regular arrangement...
