Tubular laser beams can create what amount to fiber-optic cables made of thin air, researchers report in a study to appear in Physical Review X. Laser-heated air can efficiently transmit light signals ...

Neutrino lasers: It’s an idea that many physicists didn’t see coming. At first glance, physics suggests that it would be impossible to make a laser of neutrinos, famously elusive subatomic particles.

For the first time, scientists were able to show they can bend lightning from a storm with a laser. The project, 20 years in the making, required a super powerful laser to be shot into the sky. The ...

Final tests of NASA's laser beam communication technology suggests we'll soon have a new way to keep in touch with astronauts and spacecraft venturing into deep space. Final tests of NASA's laser beam ...

The secret is out. The Sacramento Kings are one of the bright lights in the NBA this year, especially the new beam on top of G1C that can be seen all throughout the 916. But what powers the beam? Can ...

Scientists have ample evidence to prove the Earth is a sphere. But some social media users claim to have devised an experiment showing the earth is flat. The post shows a green laser beam projected ...

A tiny, levitated bead is at the core of an unprecedentedly bright laser that shoots particles of sound instead of light. Just as a ray of light is made up of many particles called photons, sound ...
