No need for the metal tape! A laser measuring tool is great for distances over 15 feet, which are difficult to measure with a standard roll tape measure. It's also much simpler to hold a laser measure against one wall, and have it give you…

A group of researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) working with engineers from Colorado-based Scientech has developed a new approach to measuring laser power using a mirror and a scale. This method,…

When most people think about lasers, they think about something that is more science fiction than science fact. When you begin to do your research, however, you quickly realize that lasers have been used in industry, science and…

Solid state lasers date back to the 1960s with the first laser ever invented being of the laser variety. The original solid state laser was a ruby laser that generated an intense flash of blue-white light. The word "laser" stands…

The use of diode lasers is seen across many different industrial and commercial settings. In fact, it is difficult to find an industry that does not take advantage of laser tools. In doing so, they are able to improve the quality of…

Lasers have been a part of our lives for many years, although many of us do not understand the difference between diode lasers and any other type of lasers that may be available. To be certain, we probably use lasers on a daily…

What's retro, organic, good for the environment, and fun to listen to? If you answered wooden records, you win the prize. While lasers and the introduction of the compact disc largely killed the vinyl record, a creative software…
