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

In a discovery that challenges conventional optics, scientists have managed to make a laser beam cast its own shadow—a feat previously thought impossible, as light typically passes through other light ...

Israel has deployed its Iron Beam laser air defense system, using a 100-kW directed-energy weapon to intercept drones and rockets at minimal cost.

Scientists have found a competitor to the lightning rod — one of the most tried and true methods of controlling where lightning strikes. The new method is far more expensive, but it allowed scientists ...

Dozens of times over the last decade NASA scientists have launched laser beams at a reflector the size of a paperback novel about 240,000 miles (385,000 kilometers) away from Earth. They announced ...

Neutrino lasers: It’s an idea that many physicists didn’t see coming. At first glance, physics suggests that it would be impossible to make a laser of neutrinos, famously elusive subatomic particles.

The U.S. Army’s latest laser weapon is no longer a bulky science project strapped to a shipping pallet. It has been squeezed onto small tactical trucks and Joint Light Tactical Vehicles, turning the ...

Laser Proximity Sensors use laser beams to detect the presence or absence of objects within a certain range. They are used in security systems, robotics, automation, and industrial processes, where ...
