NASA’s laser retroreflector arrays aboard GPS III satellites enhance positioning accuracy for Earth navigation and scientific measurements by reflecting laser signals back to ground stations.

If you get an inexpensive diode laser cutter, you might have been disappointed to find it won’t work well with transparent acrylic. The material just passes most of the light at that wavelength, so ...

Scars tell stories, but sometimes they’re stories we’d rather not share with the world. Laser treatment stands among the most effective solutions for those wanting to minimize the appearance of these ...

Scientists from the University of Rochester and UC Santa Barbara have built a laser so small it can sit on a penny. But don’t let its size fool you. This tiny laser could power the next generation of ...

Ferda Canbaz demonstrates the depth of cuts that can be achieved with lasers when the energy profile of the laser beam is adjusted. Lasers cut precisely and without contact – ideal for surgery. The ...

Physicists at the UK’s Central Laser Facility have recorded the first observation of quantum radiation reaction, detecting how electrons lose energy in ways that classical physics cannot explain when ...

A futuristic sounding process using a high-energy laser turns ordinary moon dust into versatile manufacturing and construction materials ...
