The innovative use of DIY lasers to detect microbes and viruses has the potential to revolutionize medical diagnostics and environmental monitoring. These new techniques offer incredible possibilities ...

Researchers at Zhejiang University have found a way to stop performance-killing Auger recombination in perovskite lasers, using a clever additive during processing. Their method produced a ...

YouTuber Drake Anthony, who goes by "styropyro," has created what he claims is the world's strongest handheld laser. According to Anthony, the legal limit of a laser pointer is 5 milliwatts, so he ...

Extremely short pulses of laser light with a peak power of 6 terawatts (6 trillion watts)—roughly equivalent to the power produced by 6,000 nuclear power plants—have been realized by two RIKEN ...

The microsphere, levitated by the dual beam optical tweezer (green), is driven by the active optomechanical system (red) to generate nonlinear phonon lasers (coloured waves). Meanwhile, the injected ...
