The Iron Beam offers low-cost laser interception of drones, rockets, and missiles, while reducing reliance on costly ...
In parallel, Japan has built a heavy-truck demonstrator with a 10-kilowatt-class laser for stopping small drones. Mitsubishi ...
The first operational high-power laser interception system, dubbed “Iron Beam,” has been delivered to the Israel Defense ...
Fusion energy is the ultimate clean-energy dream. It’s what powers the sun. Researchers have been trying for decades to mimic that process. But creating what amounts to a miniature star that can be ...
Japan has begun conducting live sea trials of a new 100-kilowatt-class laser weapon system installed aboard a military test vessel, marking a major step toward fielding directed-energy weapons to ...
Abstract: As a type of optical phased array technology, phased fiber laser array (PFLA) manipulates the phase of multiple beams to achieve high-power laser output and high-speed beam control. In this ...
A new paper sketches a daring plan: launch a wafer-sized spacecraft toward the nearest black hole and let it report back on the most extreme physics in the cosmos. The author, astrophysicist Cosimo ...
