U.S. researchers have developed an IR-CW laser-based method to remove backsheets from end-of-life silicon solar modules without damaging the glass or wafers, using controlled heating of the ...

The Demonstrator Laser Weapon System, acting as a ground-based test surrogate for the SHiELD system, was able to engage and shoot down several air-launched missiles during tests at the High Energy ...

The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has approached that of silicon-based counterparts, yet their limited long-term stability remains a critical obstacle to ...

Moving photonic ICs into the same package as silicon helps improve performance, but lasers remain outside. A new monolithic laser array allows hundreds of colors, each individually software-tunable ...

The winter months, when people spend significantly less time in the sun, are typically known as “laser season” by skin experts—if you’re considering a treatment, now is a great time. “We perform laser ...

To assemble a functional PSM, two main areas must be optimized: the active area, which generates electrons for the external circuit, and the dead area, which serves as the connecting region between P1 ...

It's double-barreled, it uses lasers instead of LEDs, and it's machined from a solid block of 6061 aluminum alloy. Come meet the Lumitwin DL700 flashlight, which belts out two converging beams up to a ...

US-based laser manufacturer IPG Photonics showcased its Crossbow Mini 3 kW laser directed energy weapon (LDEW) for counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) operations at the Defence and Security ...

At-home laser hair removal devices have been popular for their convenience, safety, relative comfort and results. If you’re curious about trying one out yourself, you may be wondering if the portable ...

There are a lot of different kinds of power tools out there for woodworkers who want to amplify their skills (either professionally or as a hobby). Unfortunately, choosing the right one (especially ...

Resonantly tunable quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) are high-performance laser light sources for a wide range of spectroscopy applications in the mid-infrared (MIR) range. Their high brilliance enables ...
