A new laser range-finding technique, inspired by quantum physics, that can measure distances under strong solar background has been demonstrated by researchers at the University of Bristol, UK. The ...

During femtosecond laser fabrication, photons are mainly absorbed by electrons, and the subsequent energy transfer from electrons to ions is of picosecond order. Hence, lattice motion is negligible ...

China has achieved a remarkable feat in the field of satellite communications. From a satellite parked in the geostationary orbit (GEO)—approximately 36,000 km above Earth — scientists successfully ...

Laser weapons are such an entrenched sci-fi trope that it's easy to forget just how real this tech can be (and is). While we're not exactly close to seeing real-life "Star Wars" space battles, the U.S ...

There is keen interest in extending the use of laser diodes beyond traditional low-power devices. Now the techniques needed to increase the achievable output power have become available. Laser diodes ...

MOSCOW, June 17. /TASS/. Israel has for the first time used its Iron Beam laser weapon system to intercept Iranian missiles and drones, an employee of the Israeli embassy in Moscow told TASS. "Israel ...
