Scientists and engineers at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) have reached a new milestone in isotope studies. They accelerated a high-power beam of uranium ions and delivered a record 10.4 ...

In a move that sounds like the wildest of science fiction, DARPA has announced its new Persistent Optical Wireless Energy Relay (POWER) program that plans to use lasers relayed by airborne platforms ...

Imagine satellites in space, perpetually powered by invisible beams of energy transmitted from Earth. This could soon be a reality with the emergence of wireless power beaming technology. This ...

California Institute of Technology’s (Caltech’s) first space-borne prototype launched into orbit has demonstrated the ability to wirelessly transmit power in space and beam detectable power to Earth.

We’re all used to receiving data wirelessly, but transmitting power over the air has been much trickier. Now Korean engineers have demonstrated a new system that uses infrared lasers to beam power as ...

Scientists have created an ultrashort electron beam with five times more peak current than any other similar beam on Earth. "Not only can we create such a powerful electron beam, but we're also able ...

A satellite no bigger than a washing machine could soon take a major step toward reshaping the future of clean energy. Japan is preparing to launch a spacecraft that will send solar energy wirelessly ...

Solar power is the cheapest source of electricity in history. But since it isn’t always sunny, and battery storage is still fairly expensive, a handful of startups are working on a different approach: ...

PowerPhotonic, a developer and manufacturer of freeform, wafer-scale optics, based in Fife, UK, has this week been exhibiting and presenting an invited paper at SPIE Sensors and Imaging, in Amsterdam, ...
