For the first time, a quantum radiation reaction in strong electromagnetic fields has been demonstrated experimentally by ...

Physicists at the UK’s Central Laser Facility have recorded the first observation of quantum radiation reaction, detecting how electrons lose energy in ways that classical physics cannot explain when ...

Under the draft proposal, the principle that exposure should be “as low as reasonably achievable” will be replaced with hard limits and special exceptions.

Most people interpret radiation as a bad thing—but it isn’t always. In fact, radiation is a very normal phenomenon. For now, let’s just say that radiation is when an object produces energy. When a ...

A class of glass that cannot crystallize, even given infinite time, is forcing physicists to rethink some of the oldest ...
