Researchers have used lasers on a material used in nuclear fuel to create a quasi-eternal data storage media — super-hard silicon carbide DVD-like discs could have a capacity ...

Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf ( HZDR) say they have employed lasers on silicon carbide, a material used in nuclear fuel, to develop a new form of high-capacity media that ... Read More

NASA Langley is testing solar sail technology that could reduce costs of space missions

A sunlight-propelled satellite floating though space on huge metallic sails sounds like an idea straight from science fiction. But scientists at NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton have spent five ... Read More

Scientists Use Lasers to Induce Magnetism at Room Temperature, Defying Conventional Quantum Limits

The potential of quantum technology is huge but is today largely limited to the extremely cold environments of laboratories. Now, researchers at Stockholm University, at the Nordic Institute for Theor ... Read More
