There are wireless computer mice, touchpads, TV remotes, and laser pointers … and then there's the Xring D13. It combines all of those tools in one wireless device, which could be yours for US$109.

Scientists have demonstrated in a first that a powerful laser beam directed at the sky can create a “virtual lightning rod” that can divert the path of lightning strikes. The research ...

The post shows a green laser beam projected over a body of water. It also includes a diagram showing how the distance between a straight laser beam and the water below should increase as the ...

just cranked out a pulse that makes it the most powerful laser beam in the country. ZEUS’ peak power topped out at 2 petawatts, or a staggering 2 quadrillion watts, roughly 100 times the entire ...

The technique was detailed in Nature Photonics. "What was super surprising is that the noise is so low that there's no classical laser beam that has those same properties," said Nicholas Rivera ...

Physicists at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory just created a petawatt laser beam with the highest peak power and current ever. This beam was formed from a bunch of electrons that were ...
