We are pleased to share our recent publication in the Journal of Molecular Liquids and warmly welcome collaborators, researchers, and industry partners who are interested in this area to connect and explore potential collaborations with us.

“Fluence-tuned NiO@graphene oxide nanocomposites via ligand-free pulsed laser ablation for rapid blue-light photocatalytic mineralization”
https://authors.elsevier.com/c/1n1hEc8qplvFU

This work highlights the use of pulsed laser ablation in liquid (PLAL) to synthesize high-performance nanocomposites for photocatalytic applications, particularly in environmental remediation.

This achievement reflects our continued efforts in advancing laser-based nanomaterials and photonic applications.

Let’s work together to push the boundaries of laser technology and sustainable materials.

Major milestone in laser physics!

The University of Michigan’s ZEUS facility has officially fired a two-petawatt laser!

The U.S. has fired the world’s most powerful laser at the University of Michigan’s ZEUS facility — producing a pulse so intense, it's equivalent to 100 times the power of global electricity use, though it lasts just 25 quintillionths of a second. This two-petawatt laser isn’t built for destruction but for breakthroughs in quantum physics, plasma acceleration, and particle research.

Funded by a $16 million grant from the National Science Foundation, ZEUS is now open to scientists across the country. Researchers will use this laser to simulate extreme space environments, develop next-gen cancer treatments, and potentially transform medical imaging forever — positioning the U.S. at the frontier of high-energy physics innovation.
