Cutting grass with lasers works great in a test setup. (Credit: Allen Pan, YouTube) Wouldn’t it be cool if you could cut the grass with lasers? Everyone knows that lasers are basically magic, and if ...

The candidate supported wild technologies such as wound-healing LED lights. March 14, 2008 — -- Senator and Presidential candidate Barack Obama today released his list of "earmarks" -- pet ...

Guiding lasers where they need to go is a key part of optics systems, and now engineers at DESY have developed a way to bend laser beams without anything touching them. The light is deflected using an ...

There are many different types of lasers—almost as many as there are applications for the same—but what ties them all together as a class is that they depend on the same physical effect: stimulated ...
