Little Laser Trip Wire circuit presented here can detect movement of people or objects while passing through the laser beam and trigger security alarms as alert signals to those concerned. What is ...

VILLIGEN, Switzerland — Researchers from three Swiss universities claim to have found a route to efficient silicon light-emitting lasers. The new technique holds out the promise of practical ...

Laser light can physically distort Janus TMD materials, revealing how their asymmetrical structure amplifies light-driven ...

Controlled properties include wavelength, focus, direction, and polarization; with apps in novel quantum devices. NIST researchers developed an on-chip system to shape multiple laser beams.

A group of scientists led by the US Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has designed a monocrystalline mini solar panel that can convert laser light into electricity.

Scientists from the University of Rochester and UC Santa Barbara have built a laser so small it can sit on a penny. But don’t let its size fool you. This tiny laser could power the next generation of ...

A French-Japanese collaboration has just developed an organic ultraviolet (UV) laser emitting at a record wavelength of 358.5 ...

The super thin “TV” actually utilizes a short-throw projector to project eight million pixels onto the 100-inch passive projection screen (made by Screen Innovations). The projector uses a proprietary ...

Neutrino lasers: It’s an idea that many physicists didn’t see coming. At first glance, physics suggests that it would be impossible to make a laser of neutrinos, famously elusive subatomic particles.
