A solution reminding us of the "Armageddon" movie and high-skilled drillers like Bruce Willis would help only as plan B. In fact, scientists are focusing on flying mirrors to save the Earth from a catastrophic asteroid collision. No less than 5,000 mirrors would be necessary to focus a sunlight fascicle on to the ast... |

This is a utopia turned reality: seeing inside opaque materials. Dutch researchers said that by making wavefronts that invert the diffusion of light, they can focus coherent light through opaque scattering materials. This could significantly improve spectroscopy in scattering media and metamaterials. "Light propagati... |

Just imagine drinking a good wine in your living room while your stylish furniture glows and reveals sexy photos of you. Now, that should be a nice view for the first date.In fact, this is possible with the new BEAM nightlight. This unique kind of furniture is part-lamp, part-photo frame. A long silver case uses 40 l... |

The free electron laser has almost the same properties as the optical type, meaning the coherent beam of electron radiation, but uses different operating principles to create the beam. Unlike gas, liquid, or solid-state laser applications, such as diode lasers, which rely on bound atomic or molecular states, Free el... |

Rock carving, created by removing parts of a rock surface, are found worldwide and are often (but not always) associated with prehistoric peoples. They are some of the first forms of art and precursors of technology and writing systems.Modern day nanoscopic carvings are an expression of the most modern technologies ... |

What is electromagnetically induced transparency? It's a coherent optical nonlinearity which renders a medium transparent over a narrow spectral range within an absorption line. Extreme dispersion is also created within this transparency "window" which leads to "slow light."Now, a team of scientists, made up of... |

What happens when you throw a golf ball at a locomotive speeding toward you? The ball will bounce off it and come flying back at you with tremendous energy, just before you get run over. This is what scientists are trying to study with a new generation of x-ray lasers.Scientists developed a new method of producing i... |
