A new laser range-finding technique, inspired by quantum physics, that can measure distances under strong solar background ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have succeeded in detecting laser-assisted electron scattering (LAES) using ...

The vacuum ultraviolet region is the area of the electromagnetic spectrum lying between X-rays and visible light. It is ...

Laser-based metal processing enables the automated and precise production of complex components, whether for the automotive industry or for medicine. However, conventional methods require time- and ...

BlueHalo's Locust laser air defense system, which is designed to shoot down small drones, rockets and mortar shells. The United States military has invested tens of billions of dollars over a ...

High-energy lasers can burn drones in the sky like a blowtorch. But they can be stymied by weather, and making them at scale will be a challenge.

There are many different types of lasers—almost as many as there are applications for the same—but what ties them all together as a class is that they depend on the same physical effect: stimulated ...

Guiding lasers where they need to go is a key part of optics systems, and now engineers at DESY have developed a way to bend laser beams without anything touching them. The light is deflected using an ...

If you’re looking to add a printer to your home office or business space, odds are you’re considering one of two printer types, a laser versus an inkjet printer. The former, like the affordable ...
