Imran Mahboob just made an entire generation of Trekkies happy. In a new study, Mahboob and colleagues lay out their production of a real working phaser, a device that can produce a concentrated pulse ...

Lasers have become ubiquitous: they read the prices of our groceries, play our compact discs, and even clean our clogged arteries. Now, thanks to a group of French physicists, the world has its first ...

The microsphere, levitated by the dual beam optical tweezer (green), is driven by the active optomechanical system (red) to generate nonlinear phonon lasers (coloured waves). Meanwhile, the injected ...

Like an optical laser--an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation --which uses emitted light, the “sound” laser, or phonon laser, is called a “saser"--an acronym for Sound ...

NEW YORK – 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 ...

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 ...
