However, aluminum is tricky. The element is difficult to measure with lasers, as well as cool to absolute zero. But when ...

The laser beam traveled 3.6 kilometers (over 2 miles) via fiber optic links to NIST, where a frequency comb (acting as a “ruler for light”) allowed the aluminum ion clock’s laser to adopt its superior ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) gets a breath of fresh air as it collides beams of protons and oxygen ions for the very first time. Oxygen–oxygen and neon–neon collisions are also on the menu ...

Lasers are pretty much magic — it’s all done with mirrors. Not every laser, of course, but in the 1980s, the most common lasers in commercial applications were probably the helium-neon … ...

Refraction can cause laser beams to bend along the Earth's surface, making it appear that the Earth is flat.

Light the beam! Everything you need to know about Kings' unique victory celebration The details behind that giant purple laser beam the Kings fire up after every win ...

Iron Beam laser’s speed could mute sirens, end most runs to bomb shelters According to Rafael, a major advantage of its lasers is that they can shoot down enemy rockets and drones much earlier ...

Industrial lasers utilizing neon gas have emerged as a transformative force in manufacturing, enabling fine structures and precision cuts that traditional machining equipment cannot achieve.

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.

A growing shortage for neon is driving up its prices by 5000%. Neon production became highly concentrated in post-Soviet states, such as Ukraine and Russia. The world is paying for that concentration.

Try to fathom the power of 1 million nuclear power plants. Now, imagine there is a way to pack the equivalent of that into the pulse of a laser beam—even if it’s only for one quadrillionth of ...
