Laser

Could you imagine being able to "feel" the images on your screen? UCSB researchers have made this sci-fi-like idea a reality. They've developed a display where pixels physically rise off the surface when activated by laser light.

High-efficiency, inexpensive LEDs and solar cells may arise from crystalline structures cheaper than silicon. A new vapor-based method works like superconductor manufacturing, creating perovskite layers at the Angstrom level for greater durability.

Though the world's smallest Laser TV took most of the CES 2025 spotlight, JMGO did have other models on display – including an early look at a new N series. Now it seems that the first N3 tri-laser model has soft launched.

Seeing Leica stamped on a product usually means you'll be getting top-notch quality, but you'll also need to part with a huge wad of cash. That's true of the Cine Play 1 laser projector, but the new Plus version could surprise in the price department.

Xlaserlab's E3 is a fast, ultra-detailed UV galvo laser that makes engraving clean and easy with the help of AI and computer vision – no soot, no warp, and no "oh no, it's on fire again!" moments.

Smaller than a grain of salt and possibly the tiniest neurotech implant ever invented, the MOTE sends neuro-telemetry data via infra-red lasers, and could help neuroscientists unlock cures for neurological diseases.

Optoma has launched a new dual-laser model, which not only promises stunning visuals with "unmatched clarity and color accuracy" but also gives home cinema buffs the opportunity to transform the viewing space into a console game room.

It's double-barreled, it uses lasers instead of LEDs, and it's machined from a solid block of 6061 aluminum alloy. Come meet the Lumitwin DL700 flashlight, which belts out two converging beams up to a distance of 2 km (1.24 miles).

This was my first time jumping into laser engraving, so I went in as a complete noob. I have a fair bit of 3D printing and Cricut experience, so I figured laser engraving would be a snap. Turns out, it is.

Following the success of its Nebula X1 outdoor projector, Soundcore has wrapped a Pro version in a big ol' wheeled outer skin and paired it with a 200-inch inflatable screen for what's being billed the "world's first mobile theater station."

XGIMI is getting down to business with its first model designed specifically for event spaces, professional installations and enterprise environments. With the dual-laser 4K Titan, the company is aiming to challenge the commercial status quo.

Air and space were linked together in a recent flight test by General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) and Kepler Communications where a laser system was used to communicate between a standard aircraft and a low-Earth orbit satellite.
