Researchers have discovered a powerful new way to shield atoms from losing quantum information, a long-standing hurdle in building reliable quantum technologies. By using a single, carefully tuned ...

In the future, laser beams like this could be used as a light source or to study the nature of empty space by ripping particles out of it. Try to fathom the power of 1 million nuclear power plants.

The beam isn’t just powerful—it’s quite large. At its biggest, the laser pulse is one foot (0.3 meters) across and several feet long, according to the Michigan release.

For the first time, scientists were able to show they can bend lightning from a storm with a laser. The project, 20 years in the making, required a super powerful laser to be shot into the sky.

Alphabet Inc. is spinning off its Taara unit, which uses laser-powered network equipment to deliver internet coverage.The Google LLC parent disclosed the move today. Taara, which was until now par ...
