Over the past several decades, researchers have been making rapid progress in harnessing light to enable all sorts of ...

For decades, scientists have sought ways to compress the tools of optical science – lasers, lenses, mirrors – onto chips that fit on a fingertip. Such ...

Researchers built a computer that performs AI calculations at light speed in a single shot. The breakthrough can help AI ...

It’s a rare person who can pick up a cheap laser pointer and not wield it like a lightsaber or a phaser, complete with sound effects. There’s just something about the “pew-pew” factor that makes ...

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

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 ...

An advanced laser has been created using just leaves and peanuts. Scientists made the state-of-the-art technology entirely ...

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 ...

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

An original production of Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker, presented in dancing laser lights will be featured on Friday and ...
