• Science: Device converts light into vibration

  
  Gizmos for Geeks — Authority: 132
  Recent research over the past few years have shown that light can be converted at least partially into motion, or more specifically vibration. While this seems innocuous, it could open up new ways of performing actions in optical microcircuits. Physicists at Caltech and Duke University have shown that light could be ...

• Todd Ditmire’s Petawatt Laser: One Step Closer to Nuclear Fusion

  
  The Green Optimistic — Authority: 136
  Todd Ditmire, from the University of Texas, has invented a laser device that can produce petawatt power through a process of chirping, that takes a short light pulse (150 femtoseconds) and stretches it out in time, amplifies it to higher energy and then recompresses it to about 100 femtoseconds in time, obtaining 190 ...
