Macquarie University researchers have demonstrated a technique to dramatically narrow the linewidth of a laser beam by a ...

Researchers have discovered a simple yet powerful way to protect atoms from losing information—a key challenge in developing ...

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 ...

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 ...

Amid the Hamas-Israel escalation, videos claiming to show Israel’s new Iron Beam directed-energy weapon air defense system in action have become viral across various social media platforms. One ...

The ZEUS laser, tucked away (as much as a giant laser can be) at the University of Michigan, just cranked out a pulse that makes it the most powerful laser beam in the country. ZEUS’ peak power ...

Although the laser beam makes its way to the target at the speed of light, it takes several seconds to destroy short-range missiles. The Iron Dome, however, destroys the target within a millisecond.

A hollowed-out laser beam heats a tube of air that surrounds cooler air, providing a way to guide light much the way fiber optics do.

Try to fathom the power of 1 million nuclear power plants. Now, imagine there is a way to pack the equivalent of that into the pulse of a laser beam—even if it’s only for one quadrillionth of ...

Now there’s a laser vape. Meet Luminary’s The Beam, a handheld, pocket-sized vaporizer that uses a class-1 laser you can actually see to heat weed extracts. I thought for sure it was a gimmick.

The Iron Beam is the most advanced, operational laser in the world, though England, the US, and others have relatively advanced lasers.
