Thales is delighted to attend SPIE Photonics West.

Research into particle acceleration might just be on the threshold of a revolution. In the ongoing quest to understand the universe, humankind needs new tools to accelerate particles to even higher speeds so we can delve further into the infinitesimally small building b...

Technological performance is key for scientific research

On July 30, 2020 at 7:50 am local time, an Atlas V rocket will lift off with NASA’s Perseverance rover from Cape Canaveral in Florida, en route to the Red Planet. This is a decisive moment in NASA’s Mars 2020 mission, designed to study the surface of Mars, look for trac...

Our latest edition of the Thales Laser Masterclass training developped in partnership with the Polytech Paris-Sud and Paris-Sud University, has successfully been held this autumn.

The most powerful laser system in the world developed and installed by Thales in Romania with the capacity to deliver pulses with the record power level of 10 petawatts, was formally accepted on October 11, 2019 by our Customer, the National Institute of Physics and Nuc...

The Extreme Light Infrastructure for Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) project in Romania recently reached on March 20, 2019 a significant milestone: the ultra-high intensity laser system developed by Thales has successfully generated its first pulses at a peak power level of 10...
