Israel, the US, and other countries have worked on this technology. However, recent advances in technology have enabled ...

Israel used the Iron Beam laser defence system for the first time to intercept Hezbollah rockets, calling it a historic ...

Laser powder bed fusion (LBPF), a 3D printing technique commonly used to make metal parts, creates large thermal gradients between areas hit by the laser and areas not being struck. This creates pools ...

Researchers at the University of Basel and the ETH in Zurich have succeeded in changing the polarity of a special ferromagnet using a laser beam. In the future, this method could be used to create ...

Scientists have found a competitor to the lightning rod — one of the most tried and true methods of controlling where lightning strikes. The new method is far more expensive, but it allowed scientists ...

Northrop Grumman strings together seven laser systems to get a single beam at 105.5 kilowatts, and thus enters into weapons-grade territory. Jon Skillings is an editorial director at CNET, where he's ...

Laser engraving has evolved from a niche industrial technique into one of the most versatile and efficient technologies used by businesses today. Whether for manufacturing, design or personalisation, ...

Engineers working with the Pentagon’s advanced research arm and a Seattle startup say they are closing in on “infinite flight” for drones by zapping them with high powered lasers from the ground.
