Researchers have developed a 3D-printed device that generates twisting light beams with orbital angular ... the researchers used selective laser melting to 3D print a prototype device using ...

Most theoretical studies on "beam riders" for interstellar travel have focused on laser beams, which are composed of particles of light called photons. Notable examples include laser-powered ...

An initiative called Breakthrough Starshot wants to explore another star system using ultra-powerful laser beams and wafer-thin spaceships. It's a goal that sounds so fantastic, you'd be forgiven ...

Israel’s experimental air-defense system known as the Iron Beam uses laser technology to strike down drones and rockets, but military analysts say the device needs U.S. support to improve its ...

The black and white picture shows a bright laser beam being fired from the Preble during a demonstration at sea to verify and validate the "functionality, performance, and capability" of the ...

The electrons in the beam interact with the electrons bound to the metal atoms to create X-rays," he said. "At NIF, we use the high-power laser beam instead of an electron beam to make the X-rays ...
