A new laser technology developed for space begins to be applied on Earth. The start-up Belgian Trackinside already offers the invention for entering numbers into chunks of glass – without breaking them, warm them up or leave any mark on the outside. According to the inventors, the laser low impact can, for example, entering serial numbers into [...]

U.S. scientists said on Wednesday they have taken a step forward with regard to the technology of 3-D holograms, which have numerous applications in the fields of entertainment, teleconferencing, telemedicine and propaganda. The holographic images that were static for 30 years now may suffer an “update” almost in real time, according to [...]

While many have a player for Blu-Ray at home is just a distant dream for some time now we talk about technologies that can make the blues disks something from the past. One example is the standard BDXL that to use discs with three or four layers can provide up to 128 GB of space for recording. However, this technology already available is impressive [...]

Scientists develop a different way to detect explosives: Using laser. The sensor developed at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, is able to detect molecules of explosives in very small concentrations – up to less than 10 parts per billion. Read also: The system is based on a type of plastic called polyfluorene that when it receives photons [...]

Scientists test method that uses lasers to increase the condensing water in clouds and create rain. The laser ionizes the molecules of oxygen and nitrogen around the beam, forming a “plasma channel” of ionized molecules which serve to water condensation. In the laboratory, physicists Jérôme Kasparian of the University of Geneva (Switzerland), [...]

Sometimes vacuum cleaners can be such nuisance. After spending a good deal of time on cleaning the floors and carpets, there is a pool of dust in different corners of the room. Worse still is, when it runs over tiny objects lying on the floor and get jammed. So, if you are not satisfied with your present vacuum cleaner and if you are in the process [...]

If the HDTVs from brand like Mitsubishi’s LaserVue are too pricey for your pockets to bear, then you might as well wait for HDI’s team to become a reality to really shock you out of your wits. This Californian company aspires of creating a 100-inch 3D HDTV that is driven by lasers, which by the way will cost you more than an arm and leg. The [...]

Managing with its small amount of resources and increasing demand for fuels, Japan is one of those countries of the world that largely depends on renewable sources for energy consumption. No wonder this yearning led the country to launch an audacious multi-billion dollar eco-friendly concept, the Space Solar Power System (SSPS) that would take form [...]

Military officials would be pleased to know that a new ray-gun has been developed which promises to be more effective and lethal. Defense contractor Northrop Grumman developed a solid-state laser which can fire a laser beam of a huge potency, almost that of 105.5 kilowatts. It is a major milestone and also less noxious. The company is also planning [...]

Despite the revolutionary increases in storage capacity in recent years,there’s just never enough, is there? Just when we thought that Blu-ray discs have outdone DVDs and are here to stay for a while, we hear more and more about a new disc material which will allow ridiculous amounts of information (perhaps 20 times as much as Blu-ray discs) [...]
