Astronauts orbiting the moon are video chatting with Earth in stunning 4K quality, thanks to a breakthrough laser system that's 20 years in the making. The technology could transform how future lunar explorers stay connected with home.
An Israeli company just secured $18 million to manufacture a laser system that stops hostile drones without expensive missiles. The technology could protect soldiers and communities worldwide at a fraction of current defense costs.
A small Israeli company has developed a portable laser system that can intercept 30 drones in 60 seconds at a fraction of the cost of existing defense technology. Dronelight could change how nations protect troops and communities from drone swarms.
Scientists just demonstrated a breakthrough laser technology that could propel spacecraft to our nearest star system in just two decades instead of thousands of years. The tiny but mighty proof of concept opens the door to interstellar travel within a human lifetime.
Future moon missions could beam live 4K video to Earth after NASA successfully tested breakthrough laser technology that sends data 100 times faster than radio. Even better, an off-the-shelf telescope in Australia proved the system can work affordably worldwide.
A Shanghai company just secured massive funding to build the laser communication systems that will connect thousands of satellites in orbit. The technology promises to beam high-speed internet across the globe without needing ground stations in every country.
Scientists want to put ultrastable lasers inside the moon's coldest craters to create a GPS-like navigation system for future astronauts. The permanently shadowed craters near the south pole offer the perfect natural conditions for precision laser technology.
Scientists studying an interstellar comet passing through our solar system discovered it contains 30 times more heavy water than any comet from around our sun. The finding suggests our home solar system formed in unusually warm conditions compared to other star systems.
A former lead scientist reveals what it's like to fire one of America's most powerful lasers, capable of generating more power than the entire US electrical grid for a trillionth of a second. The Texas Petawatt laser helped researchers study everything from fusion energy to new cancer treatments before funding cuts paused operations.
Researchers in the United Arab Emirates have successfully demonstrated that laser beams can trigger rainfall in laboratory tests, opening a new frontier in water security for dry regions worldwide. The breakthrough technology could replace traditional cloud seeding chemicals with precise, environmentally friendly laser pulses.
Scientists have discovered only the second infant solar system ever confirmed, giving us a rare window into how planets are born. The finding could help solve the mystery of how our own solar system came to be.
A robotics engineer built a laser defense system that uses computer vision to track and eliminate mosquitoes in real time. After one night of operation, every mosquito in his home was gone.
Four astronauts are headed to the moon with groundbreaking technology that sends high-definition video back to Earth using lasers instead of radio waves. It's the first time humans will use this faster communication system in deep space.
Greece just launched a laser ground station that can download satellite data up to 10 times faster than traditional systems. The new technology could turn hours of data transfer into seconds while making Europe's space network more secure.
A stunning new photo captures four powerful lasers creating fake stars in the Chilean sky, part of a breakthrough system that helps astronomers see deeper into space than ever before. The European Southern Observatory just upgraded all four of its giant telescopes with this cosmic correction technology.
A warehouse robot just ran for 24 hours straight on electricity beamed through the air by laser, shattering two world records. The breakthrough could mean drones and robots that never need battery changes.
Scottish scientists have proven that lasers similar to those used in routine eye surgery could one day remove brain tumors with 100 times more precision than current surgical tools. The breakthrough could transform neurosurgery in the coming decades.
A Washington company successfully recharged a flying drone using a laser beam from the ground, eliminating the need for landing breaks. The breakthrough could let drones stay airborne indefinitely for rescue missions, disaster response, and city monitoring.
Scientists in the UAE are firing lasers at clouds to create rainfall without chemicals, potentially solving water shortages in dry regions worldwide. Field trials of the breakthrough technology begin soon after successful lab tests.
After two decades of trying, scientists have finally squeezed a powerful ultrafast laser onto a chip the size of a match head. The breakthrough could bring advanced medical diagnostics, environmental sensors, and super-accurate atomic clocks out of expensive labs and into everyday life.
