Optical Neural Networks can revolutionize data science. The current state of data science places a heavy emphasis on large quantities of data, which are widely available due to increased computational ...

Have you ever pondered about the physics of invisibility: the physics behind how we could possibly make someone invisible? Perhaps you picture bending light around someone to shield them with invisibility. ...

Introduction Supercontinuum lasers are a special type of lasers that emit an extremely wide and continuous spectrum of light. When they were first invented, these lasers were known as the “white-light” ...

LeviPrint technology, short for levitation printing technology, is a touch free manufacturing system currently in development. The technology is being developed with a few new contributions being ...

Material surfaces are not as smooth as they seem. They have microscopic irregularities that can only be seen when magnified. These irregularities are called microstructures. When properly engineered, these ...

When visiting lighthouses built in the 19th century, you may notice a strange hive like glass cage around the lamp. These are the Fresnel lenses, originally designed by Augustin Fresnel*. At the time, ...

Wire stripping said simply, is the removal of insulation covering electrically conducting wires. But what is the most efficient and cost-effective way to go about doing it? Laser Wire Strippers are a ...

The history of solar power, its milestones as well as its future: these topics are a staple in the discussion on renewable energy. In today’s blog post we will discuss specifically just how far solar ...

Introduction to laser-aided additive manufacturing We usually use a powerful laser beam in laser-aided additive manufacturing (LAAM), also known as Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) or Directed Energy ...

Introduction Using the technique of keyhole laser welding, we can use very high beam intensities to process the material (please see this reference for the details of keyhole laser welding technique). Due ...
