Macquarie University researchers have demonstrated a technique to dramatically narrow the linewidth of a laser beam by a ...

NASA tested laser communications from space with a video of a cat chasing a laser dot! Psyche beamed the video about 19 ...

The laser beam traveled 3.6 kilometers (over 2 miles) via fiber optic links to NIST, where a frequency comb (acting as a “ruler for light”) allowed the aluminum ion clock’s laser to adopt its superior ...

During the LISA mission, three spacecraft will fly in formation, forming a triangle connected by laser beams to detect gravitational waves.

Lasers are a staple of the science fiction genre, generally used in various seemingly magical technologies or as weapons. Lasers played a significant role in the sci-fi classic Farscape (streaming ...
