Scientists have demonstrated that light alone can reversibly control magnetism in a topological material. Researchers at the ...

Chinese scientists have pushed solid-state vacuum ultraviolet laser technology to a new milestone by ...

Light can tell you a lot about what matter is doing. Visible light shows a surface. X-rays reveal hidden structure. Infrared ...

A team of engineers and scientists has shown for the first time that a hard-X-ray cavity can provide net X-ray gain, with ...

Scientists enable excitons to surpass light to transform materials and open new advanced paths to quantum devices.

For the first time, physicists have generated and observed stable bright matter-wave solitons with attractive interactions ...

By shining a focused laser beam onto a sample of material, a team at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and ETH Zürich showed ...

One of the most widely used safety requirements in working environments, laboratories, workshops, and factories is eye ...

Researchers have found that under certain conditions, a laser beam can act like an opaque object and cast a shadow, opening new possibilities for technologies that could use a laser beam to control ...

Audi was the first to show laser headlamps, at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in 2014, and took it to production with the R8 LMX - just a week after BMW released its own laser-light i8.

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 ...
