It would take hours to set up the perfect shot at the Texas Petawatt Laser facility. Once it fired, the beam released an ...

A new technology allows light to be "designed" into desired forms, potentially making AI and communication technologies ...

The last week of the release continued the same “lots of small fixes” trend, but it all really does seem pretty benign, so I’ve tagged the final 7.0 and pushed it out. I suspect it’s a lot of AI tool ...

An international team of researchers has demonstrated that superlight graphene aerogels can be propelled by lasers in ...

Think about how easily you recognize a friend in a dimly lit room. Your eyes capture light, while your brain filters out background noise, retrieves stored visual information, and processes the image ...

Most space missions rely on chemical rockets for propulsion. Rockets must carry fuel, which increases spacecraft mass and limits their speed and travel distance. For decades, researchers have explored ...

Researchers at the University of Basel and the ETH in Zurich have succeeded in changing the polarity of a special ferromagnet using a laser beam. In the future, this method could be used to create ...

High-voltage buck controllers, which offer the beauty of a design without the cost and difficulty of using a transformer, enhance power-conversion efficiency and enable high output voltages.

The unexpected and ultimately short-lived flight ban near El Paso this week stemmed from disagreements within the federal government over the use of a high-energy laser weapon system to take down ...

Customs and Border Protection used a high-energy laser from the Pentagon earlier this week in the vicinity of El Paso, Texas, prompting concerns within the FAA and leading it to temporarily shut down ...

A Pentagon plan to use a high-energy, counter-drone laser without having coordinated with the Federal Aviation Administration about potential risks to civilian flights prompted Wednesday’s ...
