The optical laser has grown to a $10 billion global technology market since it was invented in 1960, and has led to Nobel prizes for Art Ashkin for developing optical tweezing and Gerard Mourou and ...

While lasers amplify the power of light, ‘sound lasers’ achieve the same result with phonons instead of photons. A new study from researchers in China details a new sound laser that they claim is the ...

A tiny, levitated bead is at the core of an unprecedentedly bright laser that shoots particles of sound instead of light. Just as a ray of light is made up of many particles called photons, sound ...

MENLO PARK, Calif. (KGO) -- If you enjoy all the live performances in the Bay Area, you are no doubt grateful for the gift of sound. One Bay Area company is hoping to restore that gift to thousands of ...

Feb. 11 (UPI) --Scientists have developed a way to control terahertz quantum cascade lasers using light and sound. The breakthrough could enable record data transfer speeds. Terahertz quantum cascade ...

Mishkat Bhattacharya receives funding from the Office of Naval Research, United States Nick Vamivakas receives funding from the Office of Naval Research, United States. Most people are familiar with ...

AMC Theatres and Dolby Laboratories said Thursday that they will offer a combination of laser projection, enhanced sound, and seats that vibrate in response to onscreen action in select theaters ...

Hearing someone across a crowded room can be close to impossible thanks to the way sound waves spread, but what if we could project audio with the same precision that we can project light? Researchers ...

Researchers in China have built a new device that can create a laser beam out of sound particles. The sound laser, developed by a team at Hunan Normal University in Changsha, is 10 times more powerful ...
