Researchers have discovered a simple yet powerful way to protect atoms from losing information—a key challenge in developing ...

A 2-watt laser, no brighter than a nightlight, has just delivered data at 1 gigabit per second from a satellite 36,000 kilometers above Earth five times faster than Starlink, and with a fraction of ...

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

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.

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.

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 ...
