A new sound-based laser could measure gravity with unprecedented precision and reshape navigation technology.

For experiments that require ultra-precise measurements and control over atoms—think two-photon atomic clocks, cold-atom interferometer sensors and quantum gates—lasers are the technology of choice, ...

Lidar systems enable precise obstacle detection, distance measurement, and real-time mapping for safer interaction between ...

Industrial manufacturers and academic researchers can use patented, innovative laser techniques developed at Purdue University to produce high-tech materials such as semiconductor oxide thin films and ...

What’s new: Researchers developed a double‑sided collimation film that improves light quality in LCD resin 3D printers, enhancing detail reproduction without increasing size or cost. Why it matters: ...

Laser guided vehicles (LGVs) area a flexible automated guided vehicle (AGV) solution. LGVs are a more flexible solution than older forms of AGVs that follows markers or wires in the floor or where ...

Imagine placing an object under a microscope and pressing a button to rearrange the surface atoms with atomic-scale precision. This once sci-fi scenario is now a reality thanks to pioneering research ...

A new way to gauge distance using lasers can measure lengths of more than 100 kilometres to within a thousandth of the width of a human hair, and could be used to make better space telescopes. In ...
