The optical laser has grown to a $10 billion global technology market since it was invented in 1960, and has led to Nobel prizes for Art Ashkin for developing optical tweezing and Gerard Mourou and ...

Researchers in China have built a new device that can create a laser beam out of sound particles. The sound laser, developed by a team at Hunan Normal University in Changsha, is 10 times more ...

A tiny, levitated bead is at the core of an unprecedentedly bright laser that shoots particles of sound instead of light. Just as a ray of light is made up of many particles called photons, sound ...

Scientists in China have created an unprecedentedly bright laser that shoots particles of sound instead of light. According to New Scientist, this is the most powerful "sound laser" yet.

A Menlo Park-based company created a newly approved hearing aid that uses laser light instead of vibrating sound to transmit sound into the ear.

Scientists have developed a way to control terahertz quantum cascade lasers using light and sound. The breakthrough could enable record data transfer speeds.

The team developed a laser-based system that interacts with water vapor in the air to generate sound along a narrow route between the transmitter and the receiver’s ears.

AMC Theatres and Dolby Laboratories said Thursday that they will offer a combination of laser projection, enhanced sound, and seats that vibrate in response to onscreen action in select theaters ...
