In a discovery that challenges conventional optics, scientists have managed to make a laser beam cast its own shadow—a feat previously thought impossible, as light typically passes through other light ...

Researchers have found that under certain conditions, a laser beam can act like an opaque object and cast a shadow, opening new possibilities for technologies that could use a laser beam to control ...

A massive green and blue laser beam was spotted in the San Francisco sky earlier this week, and despite plenty of speculation online, no one seemed to know much about its purpose or origin – until now ...

A team of scientists has found that the narrow beam of a laser, under specific conditions, can cast a shadow — a counterintuitive finding that could open the doors for new applications of optical ...

Turin, Italy-based laser module manufacturer Convergent Photonics is developing new sources for high-power industrial and mid-power medical laser applications thanks to the introduction of a new ...

A pilot blindly landed a two-person airplane after a bright blue laser beam was aimed into the cockpit, damaging his eyes soon before landing, federal prosecutors said. Christopher W. Harris is ...

A new experiment has demonstrated something that sounds physically impossible – light itself casting a shadow. It turns out that if you manipulate a laser just right, then hit it side-on with another ...

After a test run with confusingly coincidental origins, a massive blue laser will once again light up Grace Cathedral this month. Illuminate — the arts nonprofit that lit up the Bay Bridge — and the ...
