In most motorbikes and cars, headlight controls are limited. They have a fixed direction of beam and it can only be switched between high beam and low beam. This makes it difficult to drive when there ...

Researchers use circularly polarized light to control the direction of exciton polaritons in 2D semiconductors, enabling new tools for nanoscale photonics. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Directing light along ...

The US Air Force awarded a $39 million contract to Northrop Grumman to develop the laser beam control portion of the Air Force Research Laboratory’s podded electric laser concept for fifth- and ...

A major scientific breakthrough could change how we understand and control ionization — the process where atoms lose electrons and become charged. Researchers from the University of Ottawa have ...

Scientists have found a competitor to the lightning rod — one of the most tried and true methods of controlling where lightning strikes. The new method is far more expensive, but it allowed scientists ...
