Little Laser Trip Wire circuit presented here can detect movement of people or objects while passing through the laser beam and trigger security alarms as alert signals to those concerned. What is ...

Northrop Grumman will advance to Phase 2 of DARPA’s Modular Efficient Laser Technology (MELT) program, fabricating a new kind of high-power tile to lower the production cost and scalability of laser ...

Researchers transformed red marker ink into graphene-based circuits using a laser, enabling low-cost, flexible electronics on everyday surfaces like paper or cups. (Nanowerk News) It is the first case ...

[Ben Krasnow] over at Applied Science was experimenting with cutting inexpensive ceramic sheets with his cheap CO2 laser cutter when he found that (just as expected) the thermal shock of the CO2 beam ...

It takes a village to create fusion. Students in RIT’s College of Engineering Technology (CET) worked alongside faculty-researcher Brian Rice this semester on designing hardware in support of ...

Most 3D printers print layers over and over again until a full object takes shape. But a whole new approach to 3D printing is capable of creating free-form metal objects and designs that emerge ...

Hybrid device: the photonic integrated chip developed in this study. (Courtesy: G Likhachev, EPFL) A new type of ultrafast tuneable laser based on low-loss lithium niobate integrated photonics could ...

Conducting polymers are plastics that carry current. This is an emerging technology that is beginning to have a significant impact on areas ranging from photovoltaics and printed circuit boards to ...

The previously confidential optical lasers were able to beam a 100Gbps connection between two prototype Project Kuiper satellites currently in orbit. It turns out Amazon’s satellite internet system ...
