The future arrived on December 28, 2025 as the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) announced that Iron Beam became the first ...

The U.K. Army is preparing to deploy a laser‑based defense system against drones, a move that could reduce the high cost of countering UAV threats.

According to Rafael, a major advantage of its lasers is that they can shoot down enemy rockets and drones much earlier in the threat process. Rafael Advanced Defense Systems’ new family of lasers, ...

A quantum trick based on interferometric measurements allows a team of researchers at LMU to detect even the smallest movements of a laser beam with extreme sensitivity.

Data from a recent integrated ground test of the Alpha high-energy laser, its beam director telescope and the associated beam alignment and correction system have provided the team developing the ...

Laser beam interactions with plasma are at the forefront of contemporary high-energy density physics, offering transformative potential in areas ranging from inertial confinement fusion to advanced ...

For the first time, scientists were able to show they can bend lightning from a storm with a laser. The project, 20 years in the making, required a super powerful laser to be shot into the sky. The ...

These optical scanners comprise two separate, perpendicular planar mirrors that rotate independently. They are positioned in a manner wherein laser light bouncing off the first mirror (axis 1) ...
