The invention of tiny devices capable of precisely controlling the direction and behavior of light is essential to the development of advanced technologies. Researchers at the Advanced Science ...

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 ...

Researchers have built a paper-thin chip that converts infrared light into visible light and directs it precisely, all without mechanical motion. The design overcomes a long-standing efficiency-versus ...

A near-infrared light beam appears harmless, as it is a low-frequency type of light that does not have a dramatic effect but ...

A NASA spacecraft has beamed a near-infrared laser nearly 10 million miles into space breaking new ground for the agency. The laser, which is encoded with test data, was fired from NASA’s Psyche ...
