Tailoring light is much like tailoring cloth, cutting and snipping to turn a bland fabric into one with a desired pattern. In the case of light, the tailoring is usually done in the spatial degrees of ...

Craig Lindley is a technical author and a prolific maker of things. This simple project was his first attempt to create a laser harp MIDI device. While on vacation, Craig saw a laser harp with only ...

The challenges faced by researchers in modifying properties of nanomaterials for application in devices may be addressed by a simple technique, thanks to recent innovative studies conducted by ...

The boys over at North Street Labs built a handheld burning laser and made it look super simple. Well it’s not. We don’t think it’s hard either, but the only reason it looks so easy is because they ...

New research indicates that simple laser treatments to the skin may help to prevent the development of basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, which are collectively known as keratinocyte ...

I’ll level with you, until I was commissioned to cover these now central components of the construction industry, I’d never actually used a laser level before. Spirit levels, countless times in the ...

Devices that convert the energy from footsteps, arm movements, and breathing into electricity could charge smart watches and wearables. But they are complicated and costly to make. Now a team has made ...

Researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) developed a new 3D printing approach for metal ...

New research revealed a worrying weakness of self-driving vehicles, as a basic laser toy can make such a car completely blind. The study was conducted by researchers at the University of Michigan, the ...
