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 ...

Physicists from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln have created the brightest light ever produced on Earth, and it could be the first step towards more powerful X-ray technology. The researchers ...

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 ...

Researchers are making the cutting-edge field of attosecond science more accessible to researchers from all disciplines. University of Central Florida researchers are making the cutting-edge field of ...

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 ...

A new U.S. Army laser has more in common with Star Wars blasters than anything currently used by the military, firing a stream of bullet-like pulses of light that hit the target with explosive effects ...

The 101st Airborne Division is the first to get its hands on the Sig Sauer M17 handgun. LAS VEGAS — As soon as April, soldiers could be getting a full sidearm kit complete with the Army’s newest M17 ...
