Physicists are learning to carve laser beams into intricate shapes that can grab hold of electrons and push them with a ...

A new experiment has demonstrated something that sounds physically impossible – light itself casting a shadow. It turns out that if you manipulate a laser just right, then hit it side-on with another ...

In the experiment, a high-power green laser passed through a ruby cube, illuminated from the side by a blue laser. The green laser increased the ruby’s absorption of the blue light, creating a darker ...

Scientists at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have, for the first time, demonstrated a technique that synchronizes ultrashort ...

Physicists have taken a step that sounds like science fiction: they have coaxed light into behaving as a “supersolid,” a ...

NASA has successfully transmitted data between Earth and two spacecraft using lasers, completing a groundbreaking experiment that could aid in future missions to other worlds. When you purchase ...

For the experiment, a high-power green laser was directed through ruby cube and illuminated with a blue laser from the side. The green laser increases the optical absorption of the blue illuminating ...

An innovative experiment flying aboard NASA's Psyche mission just hit its first major milestone by successfully carrying out the most distant demonstration of laser communications. The tech demo could ...

In a discovery that could reshape how we view and understand the human brain, researchers have successfully passed a laser beam through an entire human head. While it may sound like science fiction, ...
