Dozens of times over the last decade NASA scientists have launched laser beams at a reflector the size of a paperback novel about 240,000 miles (385,000 kilometers) away from Earth. They announced ...

A new laser-based technique can create images of structures too tiny to view with traditional microscopes, and without damaging them. The approach could help scientists inspect nanoelectronics, ...

researchers at Colorado University Boulder have used doughnut-shaped beams of light to take detailed images of objects too tiny to view with traditional microscopes. The researchers say that the new ...

The most powerful laser in the U.S. just fired up to full strength for its first official experiment—and it’s an absolute beast. Reading time 3 minutes The ZEUS laser, tucked away (as much as a giant ...

Gisela Eckhardt was one of the early pioneers in laser physics, discovering the principle behind the Raman laser in 1962. Valdas Pasiskevicius, Richard Mildren and David Burman tell the largely ...
