The Jerusalem Post recently visited Elbit's facility and met with experts in the field, to see the insides of the laser, and laboratories where its various pieces are developed up close. Much of the ...

This article is part of “The Young American Scientists,” which includes stories of 28 extraordinary scientists poised to change the world, as well as a deep look at the past, present and future of ...

Since the 1980s, researchers have sought to use laser light to control chemical reactions relevant to photochemistry, ...

Scientists have directly watched angular momentum move through a crystal for the very first time — and discovered a bizarre twist along the way. Using ultra-powerful terahertz laser pulses, ...

In the summer of 1960, physicist Theodore H. Maiman conducted a laboratory experiment at Hughes Research Laboratories that produced the first laser beam. Using a high-energy flashlamp and a small ...

The passage of time may be nothing more than an illusion that emerges from the quantum interactions between different parts of the universe – at least, this is true in a toy model of the cosmos. The ...

The US National Ignition Facility is the only laboratory where a nuclear-fusion reaction has generated more energy than it consumed. Here’s how it achieved this historic milestone and sparked fresh ...

Much of the world is already familiar with the game-changing Iron Beam laser defense system, which Israel covertly deployed against Hezbollah drones in October 2024, and then publicly in December 2025 ...
