Fusion ignition has been achieved on earth! The first fusion reaction to produce a net positive energy gain has made history on December 5th of 2022. This monumental day in power resulted from years of ...

The Hubble Space Telescope has served as a space pioneer over the past three decades, but how has its successor, the James Webb Space Telescope, already furthered these astronomical advancements so much? ...

Flaw detection and rapid fatigue fracture Additive manufacturing (AM) techniques have gained popularity in a number of high-value industries due to their capacity to produce small batches of geometrically ...

How often do we think about the importance of optical fiber probes in biomedical applications? When we think of optical engineering applications in the medical field, we often think of lasers, MRI ...

Introduction Single photon sources are a relatively new type of light source that was first developed and tested in 1974. Unlike most classical light sources, this type of a source emits light as a single ...

Introduction to laser powder bed fusion In this article, we discuss a novel work introduced by the researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and University of Nebraska-Lincoln in the USA. ...

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 ...

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 ...
