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 ...

#OctopusEffects, #Blender Creates a laser beam from a point projected onto a surface. Create a light effect where the surface ...

By shining a focused laser beam onto a sample of material, a team at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and ETH Zürich showed ...

Researchers have found that under certain conditions, a laser beam can act like an opaque object and cast a shadow, opening new possibilities for technologies that could use a laser beam to control ...

Those models give the simulated laser beam its own shadow because they treat it as a solid object instead of a ray of light. During a lunchtime conversation about this quirk of the modeling system, ...

A NASA spacecraft has beamed a near-infrared laser nearly 10 million miles into space breaking new ground for the agency. The laser, which is encoded with test data, was fired from NASA’s Psyche ...

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

For the experiment, a high-power green laser was directed through ruby cube and illuminated with a blue laser from the side. The green laser increases the optical absorption of the blue illuminating ...
