Porous wood and graphene create a light-trapping propellant that enables efficient laser ablation at unusually low continuous ...

A laser hit the tiny black cube, and it lurched forward almost at once. That split-second jump, caught during a zero-gravity arc aboard a parabolic flight, points to a strange and promising idea for ...

During a parabolic flight over Europe, a small slab of graphene aerogel floated in near-weightlessness while a laboratory laser fired into it. The material moved. Not because of a chemical reaction or ...

Researchers used femtosecond laser direct writing to program Leidenfrost droplet motion on heated aluminum surfaces through ...
