[6 Dec 2019] Researcher Thomas Blackburn has received an Early Career Award from the New Journal of Physics. His work on modelling high-intensity lasers is being highlighted as a significant contribution to the field.
[1 Jul 2019] With the help of extremely strong light pulses, photons with huge amounts of energy can be released. This paves the way for brand new types of experiments. A group of physicists from the University of Gothenburg and Chalmers have simulated laser configurations that could bring space phenomena into the lab.
[18 Jun 2019] When studying biological cells using optical tweezers, one main issue is the damage caused to the cell by the tool. Giovanni Volpe, University of Gothenburg, has discovered a new type of force that will greatly reduce the amount of light used by optical tweezers ¿ and improve the study of all kinds of cells and particles.
