A new holographic storage technique uses light in three dimensions to dramatically increase how much data can be stored. It encodes information throughout a material using amplitude, phase, and ...

It’s official. Artemis II has broken Apollo 13’s distance record. The three Americans and one Canadian on Monday journeyed ...

A new laser-powered wireless system uses light to deliver data at speeds exceeding 360 Gbps. It could enable faster, more ...

Laser chips using light instead of radio waves deliver over 360 Gbps indoors while cutting energy use, offering a new way to ease Wi-Fi congestion in dense environments.

Since the Apollo missions in the late 1960s, NASA has relied on radio frequencies to communicate with astronauts in space. The Artemis II mission is the first time astronauts will have a chance to use ...

This article explores how laser cutting and mechanical punching perform when used in electrode manufacturing and other foil-based applications in terms of speed, edge quality, material compatibility ...

X-lumin has successfully demonstrated a roundtrip optical transmission from its 15cm Optical Ground Terminal (OGT) to a retroreflector-equipped LEO satellite, and back, with the ability to track ...

The rapid growth of satellite constellations has placed unprecedented pressure on the infrastructure connecting spacecraft to Earth. In a recent interview, Laurynas Mačiulis, Chief Executive Officer ...

For a while missiles looked like potential prey. They have thin skins and are packed with fuel and explosives. Merely damaging the shell of a supersonic missile can create drag, causing it to tumble ...

As the Artemis II Orion spacecraft carries four astronauts on the first crewed lunar ...

The controlled generation of single photons is an essential element of numerous quantum technology applications, such as quantum networks and quantum computing. A research team has now demonstrated ...
