The Iron Beam is the most advanced, operational laser in the world, though England, the US, and others have relatively advanced lasers. In a historic breakthrough, the IDF on Wednesday announced that ...

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 ...

Earlier this summer, Israel made military history. Not with a missile, bomb or bullet — but with a beam of light. In a first for modern warfare, the Israel Defense Forces successfully intercepted ...

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 ...

When the green laser encounters atoms along its path through the crystal, it gives the electrons in those atoms a bit of extra energy. In their high-energy state, those electrons can absorb blue light ...

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.

A screengrab from an Israeli Defense Ministry video showing Iron Beam during tests in 2022. According to an unconfirmed report, Israel’s Iron Beam laser system shot down a rocket fired from Gaza ...
