Figure out how to use giant freakin’ lasers to create limitless fusion energy that can free us from fossil fuels and steer the planet away from climate change. Today, with energy costs (and climate ...

A materials science collaboration between UChicago PME engineers and Duke doctors could lead to shorter, safer procedures ...

It guarantees a glassy complexion.

Astronomers have discovered the brightest and most distant "megamaser" to date. The cosmic energy beam is shooting toward ...

As conflict escalates following the US and Israeli attacks on Iran, and Iran’s subsequent retaliatory strikes, reports have emerged that Israel may have used laser weapons to shoot down rockets fired ...

Most space missions rely on chemical rockets for propulsion. Rockets must carry fuel, which increases spacecraft mass and limits their speed and travel distance. For decades, researchers have explored ...

Researchers at the University of Basel and the ETH in Zurich have succeeded in changing the polarity of a special ferromagnet using a laser beam. In the future, this method could be used to create ...

When a bone break is too severe to heal on its own, surgeons often rely on grafts or rigid metal implants — but both come ...

Researchers have found a way to use solar energy to power a key chemical reaction that drives many manufacturing industries. This new method can significantly reduce the energy required to run these ...

The U.S. military will test a high-energy laser weapon at White Sands Missile Range, designed to disable drones.

The researchers said that the "hydroxyl gigamaser" was generated by the merger of two galaxies some 8 billion light-years away.

Phase-coherent lasers are crucial for many precision tasks, including timekeeping. Here on Earth the most stable optical ...
