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 ...
A group of scientists have created a high-power laser beam that they claim lightning will follow for a period of time. Physicists have published a new study in the scientific journal Nature Photonics ...
Physicists are learning to carve laser beams into intricate shapes that can grab hold of electrons and push them with a precision that once sounded like science fiction. Instead of simply blasting ...
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 ...
These optical scanners comprise two separate, perpendicular planar mirrors that rotate independently. They are positioned in a manner wherein laser light bouncing off the first mirror (axis 1) ...
Turin, Italy-based laser module manufacturer Convergent Photonics is developing new sources for high-power industrial and mid-power medical laser applications thanks to the introduction of a new ...
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 ...
