Powerful lightning strikes pose a significant threat to buildings and people, but imagine if it were possible to control and direct them with a laser beam. Nature Photonics spoke to Jérôme ...

Blue lasers, lasers that emit a light beam with a wavelength between 400 nm and 500 nm, are key components of various ...

During their experiment conducted on top of Mount Säntis in Switzerland, scientists were able to change the direction of lightning using a high-powered laser. We explain how this was done.

A test of giant lasers shot from a mountaintop in Switzerland is helping scientists develop ways to guide lightning. It could be a first step in defending against dangerous strikes that lead to ...

Researchers were able to deflect lightning using a powerful laser shot into the sky — a scientific first. A powerful laser was able to deflect a lightning bolt almost 200 feet before it hit a ...

Lasers, LEDs and light sources are devices that create light. LEDs (light emitting diodes) convert an electrical current into light using spontaneous emission in optically active semiconductors ...

When a group of friends with engineering chops debuted the Christmas Light Show on a residential street in Wall in December 2005, the Walt Disney World-quality display of lasers, pyrotechnics and ...

Cambridge Technology’s Lightning II is a powerful and versatile scanning platform developed for via-hole drilling and a wide range of material processing applications. It offers low-drift during high ...
