Lasers could one day steer solar sails and adjust a satellite's position in outer space, thanks to graphene. An experiment on ...

Just as embroiderers, with needle and thread, can transform plain fabric into an intricate pattern, engineers can use lasers and polymers to create flexible, complex structures that could transform ...

A new breakthrough in wireless technology could dramatically boost internet speeds while cutting energy use—by switching from radio waves to light. Researchers have developed a tiny chip packed with ...

Lasers aren’t just for sci-fi fans. We use them to scan barcodes in shopping malls, conduct surgeries, even get rid of bad decisions we’d rather forget! This is the story of the first laser ever made ...

Iain Boyd was interviewed by The Atlantic for an article on laser based-weapons, which until recently were largely the realm of science fiction. Boyd, a professor in the Ann and H.J. Smead Department ...

Moving photonic ICs into the same package as silicon helps improve performance, but lasers remain outside. A new monolithic laser array allows hundreds of colors, each individually software-tunable ...

Researchers develop an industry-scalable method to tune thermal conductivity in thin films using femtosecond lasers. (Nanowerk News) Femtosecond laser-induced periodic surface structures can be used ...
