Scientists have taken lasers beyond light and into the realm of sound, creating a breakthrough “phonon laser” that ...

Can light behave like a whirlwind? It turns out it can—and such "optical tornadoes" have now been created in an extremely ...

Scientists have achieved a historic first using lasers to study electron behaviour, revealing new insights into how light ...

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 ...

Physicists at the University of Warsaw have generated a miniature “laser tornado” inside nanoscale structures by engineering ...

Lasers are known for the monochromatic nature of their light, so much so that you might never have thought there could be such a thing as a white laser. But in the weird world of physics, a lot of ...

Neutrino lasers: It’s an idea that many physicists didn’t see coming. At first glance, physics suggests that it would be impossible to make a laser of neutrinos, famously elusive subatomic particles.
