Scientists at Rice University have discovered that beams of light can physically shift atoms in a class of ultra-thin ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

A team of scientists has found that the narrow beam of a laser, under specific conditions, can cast a shadow — a counterintuitive finding that could open the doors for new applications of optical ...

A small international team of nanotechnologists, engineers and physicists has developed a way to force laser light into becoming a supersolid. Their paper is published in the journal Nature. The ...

Lasers are such a fundamental piece of technology today that we hardly notice them. So cheap that they can be given away as toys and so versatile that they make everything from DVD players to corneal ...

OLD COLORADO CITY, Colo. (KRDO) -- Laser light therapy is an emerging technology that offers a noninvasive approach to prevent cognitive deterioration, and it can also treat a variety of injuries or ...

Whether the problem occurs sporadically or perpetually, a failing computer mouse always decreases productivity. In the early days of personal computing, mice had balls that sensed motion. Today's mice ...
