Researchers have encoded a picture of a cat into a single laser beam, demonstrating a simple system that can create detailed images within a beam of light. This technique could be used to more ...

Researchers have developed a new method for flexibly creating various needle-shaped laser beams. These long, narrow beams can be used to improve optical coherence tomography (OCT), a noninvasive and ...

Physicists have built a tractor beam out of lasers that can both repel and attract objects across distances 100 times farther than previously possible. Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and she ...

Laser powder bed fusion (LBPF), a 3D printing technique commonly used to make metal parts, creates large thermal gradients between areas hit by the laser and areas not being struck. This creates pools ...

Needle-shaped laser beams (NBs) featuring a long and narrow localization of photons can potentially allow non-diffracting pulses with undistorted temporal profiles. Using this kind of pulse in ...

(Nanowerk News) University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers have found a way to simultaneously mitigate three types of defects in parts produced using a prominent additive manufacturing technique called ...

Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography exposed resist patterns can exhibit excessive line edge roughness (LER) and line width roughness (LWR) due to random or shot noise. Increasing the EUV exposure ...
