Facebook X LinkedIn Email
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Sept. 26, 2023 — The University of Rochester has received nearly $18 million from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to design and prototype key technologies for EP-OPAL, a new facility dedicated to the study of ultrahigh-intensity laser-matter interactions. The facility could be built at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) upon completion of the design project, according to the university. High-intensity lasers enable scientific work in fields ranging from plasma science to particle acceleration, laboratory astrophysics to laser-driven nuclear physics — work that has resulted in myriad...Read full article
