13 sie 2003 · By David Hambling. 13 August 2003. An exotic kind of nuclear explosive being developed by the US Department of Defense could blur the critical distinction between conventional and nuclear...
9 sty 2019 · Hecht tours the most powerful lasers imaginable. These range from 1960s ‘rocket-engine’ lasers that emitted light by burning hot gases, to physicist Edward Teller’s 1970s idea of weaponizing...
1 sty 2024 · The focus of the military’s efforts is on high-energy lasers (HELs) and high-power microwaves (HPMs). HELs include both pulsed and continuous-wave (CW) devices, and their emissions span a broad spectral range—from long-wave IR down to x rays or even gamma rays.
22 mar 2018 · Prototypes have been built, but the revolutionary destructive ray that would change the face of battle as fundamentally as the longbow or the airplane has yet to appear. Why? Let's find out.
A gamma-ray laser, or graser, is a hypothetical device that would produce coherent gamma rays, just as an ordinary laser produces coherent rays of visible light. [1] Potential applications for gamma-ray lasers include medical imaging, spacecraft propulsion, and cancer treatment. [2]
20 lut 2024 · Scientists are taking another look at directed energy weapons, which shoot out photons in X-rays and lasers, as a way to disable high-tech drones on the battlefield.
Accelerator based high-energy photon sources have a long history. Since the invention of laser, LCS gamma-ray sources have been developed and utilized as user facilities. The performance of LCS gamma-ray source, flux, bandwidth, has been improved in accordance with advancement of laser and accelerator technologies.
