Physicists are now using a tightly controlled laser and a cloud of ultracold atoms to imitate the behavior of electrons in solids, effectively building a quantum version of electronics out of light ...

Hisense is betting that the next big thing in living‑room screens will not hang on a wall at all, but sit a few inches from ...

It’s a rare person who can pick up a cheap laser pointer and not wield it like a lightsaber or a phaser, complete with sound effects. There’s just something about the “pew-pew” factor that makes ...

The US Naval Research Laboratory (AFL) is developing an Argon Fluoride (ArF) laser that may one day make fusion power a practical commercial technology. The wide-bandwidth ultraviolet laser is ...

From repairing damaged retinas in the human eye to burning precision holes in industrial diamonds, the list of uses for laser light has grown steadily since the fierce, pure beams were first projected ...

- Development of the world's first practical surface-emitting laser suitable for optical fiber communications systems. - Utilization of quantum dots as an optical gain medium, enabled by NICT's ...

Quantum dots with precise crystal growth and advanced processing enable compact, energy-efficient, and cost-effective light sources for optical fiber communications. (Nanowerk News) The National ...

The remarkable potential of lasers (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) nurtures many a heady scientific dream. Pure, one-color laser light can be focused down to a microscopic ...
