Scientists have found a competitor to the lightning rod — one of the most tried and true methods of controlling where lightning strikes. The new method is far more expensive, but it allowed scientists ...
Physicists are learning to carve laser beams into intricate shapes that can grab hold of electrons and push them with a ...
The future arrived on December 28, 2025 as the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) announced that Iron Beam became the first ...
The Berkeley Lab Laser Accelerator (BELLA) Center at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, in California, has developed an optical system to precisely measure and control ...
The ability to precisely control the various properties of laser light is critical to much of the technology that we use today, from commercial virtual reality (VR) headsets to microscopic imaging for ...
Researchers have developed a single metasurface that can effectively tune the different properties of laser light, including wavelength, without the need of additional optical components. The ...
