Scientists at the University of Oxford have simulated a way to summon light, seemingly out of thin air. Their work is quite exciting as it taps into one of the strangest predictions of quantum physics ...

A bright light seen across several western states on May 16 sparked speculation on social media. The light, observed in Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, and Montana, was likely from a Chinese ...

Laser beams powered by the sun are one small step closer to becoming a reality after researchers received funding to develop the pioneering technology. These lasers could eventually help power ...

By using light to emulate the structure of space-time, researchers can better understand black holes – and the exotic objects that mimic them ...

Future quantum computers will be no match for 'space encryption' that uses light to beam data around — with the 1st satellite launching in 2025. News. By Keumars Afifi-Sabet published 27 March 2024 ...

The aim was to harvest energy from the sun and transfer it wirelessly in space, which they did, managing to light up a pair of LEDs. But the “stretch goal” was to see if Maple could also beam ...

Free-space optical communication, or FSO, is an interesting and easy way to transmit signals through light beams. Forget expensive lasers or commercial-grade equipment; ...
