Powered by laser light, this tiny sail lays the groundwork for future advances in lightsail technology and the potential for ...

In this way, the laser beams from the ten PCSELs are combined ... while fibre lasers tend to operate only at near-infrared wavelengths. Both visible and near-infrared wavelengths are useful ...

Cheap diode laser cutters and engravers operate in the visible part of the spectrum ... one used in the popular K40 machines, the infrared beam is invisible to the naked eye.

Electron beams produced in laser–plasma accelerators ... by ultrafast X-ray or visible probing. Novel laser-based sources will provide the necessary tools.

To begin their research, the team built a small, tethered lightsail within a larger membrane. They then shined a visible ...

However, Abrahao’s team demonstrated that under specific conditions, light itself—specifically, a laser beam—can block another beam, forming a visible shadow. “Our demonstration of a very ...

Breakthrough Starshot is planning a laser beam, probably in the visible spectrum, that will push directly on light sails attached to the probe. However, given the current state of optical ...
