There are many wonderful places we’d like to visit in the universe, and probably untold numbers more that we haven’t even seen or heard of yet. Unfortunately…they’re all so darn far away.

A new laser-based propulsion technique developed by researchers at the Harbin Engineering University in China could help the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) build silent yet superfast submarines ...

Intense Pulsed Light, or IPL, is a new and exciting way to improve and rejuvenate the skin. Unlike a laser, which emits one specific wavelength of light, IPL emits a broad spectrum of light with each ...

The laser wavelength, pulse duration, and fluence (energy density) significantly influence the ablation process and the resulting plasma plume. Shorter wavelengths and higher fluences generally lead ...

Of the many well-known names in science, few have been as reluctant to stick to one particular field as Freeman John Dyson. Born in the UK in 1923, he showed a great interest in mathematics and ...

This science fiction-like technology - called "underwater fibre laser-induced plasma detonation wave propulsion" - could have "broad application prospects in areas such as stealth propulsion for ...
