While VR is becoming really immersive, it still can’t compete with a game of good old laser tag to get the blood pumping and spending quality time with friends. [Xasin] has been working on a DIY laser ...

Photoinduced electron/energy transfer reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (PET-RAFT) polymerization enables precise light-controlled polymer growth. Traditional near-infrared strategies ...

This may come as a shock, but some of those hot screaming deals on China-sourced gadgets and goodies are not all they appear. After you plunk down your pittance and wait a few weeks for the package to ...

Researchers have used an extremely bright mid-infrared laser to perform an analytical technique known as spectroscopic ellipsometry. The new approach captures high-resolution spectral information in ...

The new method relies on a femtosecond laser tuned to the resonant mid-IR wavelength of collagen, the protein known to be a ...

Researchers have developed a new laser-based technique that targets pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) while leaving ...

No, it isn't like its flashy cousins that blast aircraft away using high-powered beams to burn off wings and destroy electronics. Instead, it's a twin-turret laser weapon that can cover the entire sky ...

For a long time, scientists have been looking for simple methods to produce infrared laser pulses. Now a new method has been presented that does not require large experimental setups; it can be easily ...
