Anyone would say that hitting a moving object 130,000 km from Earth with a laser beam would be impossible. However, in April ...

Researchers have found that under certain conditions, a laser beam can act like an opaque object and cast a shadow, opening new possibilities for technologies that could use a laser beam to control ...

A team of physicists from the University of Innsbruck and Harvard University has proposed a fundamentally new way to generate ...

Researchers have developed an innovative and versatile system designed for a new generation of short-pulse lasers. Lasers ...

A NASA spacecraft has beamed a near-infrared laser nearly 10 million miles into space breaking new ground for the agency. The laser, which is encoded with test data, was fired from NASA’s Psyche ...

Imagine shining two flashlight beams through each other — neither one blocks the other. However, some 3D computer models of laser systems depict the laser beam as a cylinder. Those models give the ...

When an intense laser pulse hits a stationary electron, it performs a trembling motion at the frequency of the light field.

Lasers that emit extremely short light pulses are highly precise and are used in manufacturing, medical applications, and ...

What is laser photocoagulation? A laser procedure that seals leaking blood vessels to slow vision loss in wet age-related ...
