Single-mode lasers before the merger
A central problem in semiconductor lasers is deceptively simple: how can one increase optical performance without allowing unwanted…
Physicist Bhupal Dev at Washington University used the debris from GW170817 — the 2017 neutron star merger — to squeeze new limits on axion-like particles, treating the hot post-collision remnant as a natural forge for dark-matter candidates
For about one second after two neutron stars collided 130 million light-years away, the wreckage they left behind…
