A 2-watt laser, no brighter than a nightlight, has just delivered data at 1 gigabit per second from a satellite 36,000 ...

Chinese scientists have developed a portable 2-kilowatt (kW) fiber laser weapon that can operate in extreme temperatures. Reportedly capable of functioning in conditions between -58°F (-50°C) and ...

The Iron Dome has a success rate of about 90 percent against incoming rockets. Iron Beam will attempt to close the remaining ...

It was a mission that lasted all of about half an hour. I jumped onto Amazon to check out the Prime Day sale and found him ...

The beam isn’t just powerful—it’s quite large. At its biggest, the laser pulse is one foot (0.3 meters) across and several feet long, according to the Michigan release.

To reach Earth’s closest star system, Alpha Centauri, scientists are building a laser-powered spacecraft. To pull off ...

Although the laser beam makes its way to the target at the speed of light, it takes several seconds to destroy short-range missiles. The Iron Dome, however, destroys the target within a millisecond.

Previously, the POWER system managed to use a laser to beam 230 watts across one mile (1.7 km) for 25 seconds, and an undisclosed lesser amount of power as far as 2.3 miles (3.7 km).

Now there’s a laser vape. Meet Luminary’s The Beam, a handheld, pocket-sized vaporizer that uses a class-1 laser you can actually see to heat weed extracts. I thought for sure it was a gimmick.

The laser beams, Detroit police told the Free Press in an email, seemed to come from the Canadian side of the Detroit River and were directed at the department's air support unit.

Target Area 1, where the first 2 petawatt user experiment will take place. Dollar's team, in collaboration with ZEUS scientists, is working to generate electron beams with energies comparable to ...

The ZEUS laser facility at the University of Michigan has roughly doubled the peak power of any other laser in the U.S. with its first official experiment at 2 petawatts (2 quadrillion watts).
