Improvements in LiDAR technology will help NASA scientists and explorers perform remote sensing and measurement functions

As far as quantum physics is concerned, one of the most striking predictions is that matter can be produced entirely from light (i.e., photons). Pulsars are an example of an object capable of achieving this feat.In a recent study reported in the journal Physical Review Letters, a research team led by scientists at Osaka University simulated the conditions that allow photons to collide with photons...

Zygo Corporation, a business unit of AMETEK, announced that it will be showcased at the D28 booth of the Space Comm Expo held in Farnborough, UK from March 6th to 7th this year.Space Comm showcases the end-to-end supply chain of products, services, and applications that provide information and technological development for commercial aerospace enterprises, governments, and defense organizations, p...

Recently, researchers announced the development of a way to use laser blasting to break down plastic and other material molecules into their smallest parts for future reuse.This method involves placing these materials on a two-dimensional material called transition metal dichalcogenides and then irradiating them with light.This discovery has the potential to improve the way we handle plastics that...

The British engineering and construction company Metz Group has a delegation in Spain to be responsible for the expansion and renovation of the central laser facility at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory near Oxford. More commonly, the construction of the powerful laser Vulcan 20-20 has just been obtained, with a delivery date of 2029.It will emit a main excitation beam that is billions of times larg...

Recently, Professor Nie Mingming from the Key Laboratory of Fiber Optic Sensing and Communication at the School of Information and Communication Engineering, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, in collaboration with the University of Colorado Boulder, published a research paper titled "Cross polarized stimulated Brillouin scattering empowered photonics" in the top internation...
