Researchers have discovered a powerful new way to shield atoms from losing quantum information, a long-standing hurdle in building reliable quantum technologies. By using a single, carefully tuned ...

Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 Super introduces two new hero-themed Sprites, blending in seamlessly with the overarching theme of superheroes in this new season.

A hollowed-out laser beam heats a tube of air that surrounds cooler air, providing a way to guide light much the way fiber optics do.

Prototype quantum photonic-dimer laser uses entanglement to bind photons and deliver a powerful beam of concentrated light that can shine through adverse weather like thick fog.

Physicists used a simulation software package called OSIRIS to model interactions between laser beams and matter, giving them a peek into vacuum-light interactions that were previously out of reach.

The 15-second video of Taters the cat was beamed to Earth from NASA's Psyche spacecraft, 19 million miles (30 million kilometers) away. Taters is shown chasing a red laser light.

The UK has for the first time test-fired a laser beam from an army vehicle, destroying targets at the speed of light from more than a kilometre away, the defence secretary has revealed. A single ...

Traditional lightning rods will still do the trick for most instances, but laser alternatives could be used at spaceports and military bases.

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.

"Light from a laser beam can reach a target almost instantly, thereby eliminating the need to calculate an intercept course, as interceptor missiles must do," CRS noted in its report.

British Army personnel yesterday test-fired for the first time a laser beam capable of destroying targets with 'pinpoint accuracy' - for less than the price of a cup of tea.
