Planning laser hair removal? A dermatologist explains what to expect, from hair growth cycles and skin type to preparation, ...

For the first time, physicists have generated and observed stable bright matter-wave solitons with attractive interactions ...

A novel apparatus at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has made extremely precise ...

During femtosecond laser fabrication, photons are mainly absorbed by electrons, and the subsequent energy transfer from electrons to ions is of picosecond order. Hence, lattice motion is negligible ...

A burst of invisible light can do more than illuminate a surface. In a new study, Michigan State University researchers used ...

Picture an aircraft streaking across the sky at hundreds of miles per hour, unleashing millions of laser pulses into a dense ...

Students in the class ENGRI 1100: "Lasers and Photonics" engage in hands-on learning and build a laser for an assignment.

If you’d told me last August that a Chinese construction equipment company would be making some of the most innovative golf tech on the market, I’d have been skeptical. But after spending time with ...

An innovative arrangement employing diverse electronic and optical principles and components leads to precision frequency within the terahertz band.

For more than 50 years, phase-shifting interferometry has been the technology of choice for high-precision surface form ...

For over a century, light has both helped and limited our view of the ...

Researchers at Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) are developing a robust laser system for monitoring greenhouse gases from space using a hybrid approach as part of the EU project HALLOA. The goal is ...
