Physicists in Germany have developed a technique for producing the first ever near-continuous beams of molecules slowed and cooled to a temperature of just one degree above absolute zero. The method, ...

Behold the beam, an amazing structural element that bends when loaded — but one that must not bend too much. A fallen tree spanning the banks of a river was perhaps the first beam used by primitive ...

Physicists at Imperial College London can now produce a continuous maser beam in room-temperature conditions. The set-up involves shining a laser light through a diamond, sapphire and copper apparatus ...

A “laser” that puts out a continuous beam of coherent atoms is one step closer, say physicists in the Netherlands, who have devised a new way of cooling atoms to create a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC ...

Founded by two veterans of Apple's still-secret driverless car project, Aeva is a startup promising a different kind of lidar—one that can measure the velocity of objects in addition to their distance ...
