Portable laser powerful enough to burn through plastic
It can ignite firework fuses, pop balloons - even from a distance of dozens of yards, and its beam can be seen miles away! Like a lightsaber, only larger. It can be also used like a method to poke images on wooden plates - just try to not ignite them

Laser equipped saw will help you in cutting straight
In addition, you will be confident that this line is straight - a laser beam cannot be curve, of course only when there are no reflecting surfaces around.This interesting gadget is an illustration of how new technologies can help us doing simple job, like cutting for example.

Solid state laser sustains 67-kilowatts, approaching battlefield status
Chemically powered lasers, on the other hand, have been able to achieve megawatts of power for some time now, but the solid state variety is much less burdensome and could be used on the battlefield without a constant source of chemical fuel flanking the soldier's belt. The SSHCL is said to generate a "pulsed beam which fires 200 times a second at a wavelength of one micron," and the "magic 100-kilowatt mark" that would enable it to become a satisfactory weapon could purportedly be reached within the year.

Georgia Tech researchers design nanowires to monitor blood pressure
The aptly-dubbed nanowires take advantage of the "piezoelectric effect in semiconducting zinc oxide" in order to detect minute forces as tiny "as a few piconewtones," or about the same amount needed to unzip a strand of DNA. The specially designed sensors will purportedly enable robotic nurses to continually monitor your blood pressure to take action before things get too out of hand, and of course, the "biocompatible "system would beam results wirelessly to devices in hospitals or even wrist-mounted readers so you'd know when to pop a proverbial chill pill.

Scientists perform quantum computer simulation on vanilla PC
Piotr Deuar were able to "successfully simulate a collision of two laser beams from an atom laser using an everyday desktop computer," which would typically only be attempted on a substantially more powerful machine. Notably, the achievement wasn't entirely without flaw, as the purported randomness in the testing eventually "swamped everything" and forced the simulation to be halted in order to gather any useful data whatsoever.

LG / Harris announce In-Band mobile DTV system
Reportedly backwards compatible with A-VSB transmission and receiving equipment, the forthcoming Mobile-Pedestrian-Handheld (MPH) applications should theoretically allow DTV broadcasters to beam signals to set-top-boxes in the home and mobile devices simultaneously via the same antenna. Additionally, this technology enables HD programming to hit the couch-dwelling customers, while bandwidth-starved cellphone users will still get vanilla SD content without relying on new (read: pricey) hardware on the broadcasting end.

How-To: Make a Wii laptop, part 3 - the final installment
The beam is actually generated inside the machine near the back and is bounced via mirrors into this head, when it bounces down to the surface you're cutting. While a laser engraver has a very high accuracy and can cut much more precisely than a bit-based router, some resolution is lost for the simple fact you are indeed burning through material and thus the edges can tend to be a bit wider than you planned (although we're talking maybe a hundredth of an inch)

Solar-powered beambots scurry about, shun batteries
The cleverly-dubbed beambot can be created from spare parts junking up your garage (or for the hardcore, your silverware drawer) as well as pre-packaged kits, and best of all, the energy required to bring these machines to life is available for free during standard daylight hours. The solar-powered bots don't do much besides walk around, explore the terrain, and become gradually less active as dawn approaches, but we're sure the more highly trained robotics engineers could bolt on a slingshot and quickly devise an underground beambot fighting championship.

Australian physicists develop teleportation scheme for atoms
Granted, they don't fully expect their teleportation scheme to be used on humans in the near future, but there's always hope, right? Anyway, the team has developed a so-called "simple way to transport atoms," which involves bringing the atoms to almost absolute zero, beaming them with two lasers, and using fiber optics to transport them to any other place at the speed of light where they "enter a second condensate" and reconstruct. We'll keep you posted on when human trialing (hopefully) begins

Cellphone lights enable operation to proceed in blackout
Peron hospital in Argentina failed to activate after the power went out whilst an appendix surgery was ongoing, but rather than panicking, a family member gathered up a number of phones in order to provide enough light for the surgeons and anesthetists to keep on keepin' on. According to the hospital director, the operation went on without proper lighting for no more than 20 minutes, but thanks to the beaming LCDs, the fellow under the knife came through just fine.

Symbiotic Camera Cadges Power from Fluorescent Light
The VGA-resolution camera, made by NEC, can snap images every 10 seconds, beaming them back to a PC.If the ring doesn't cause any additional power to be drawn in the operation of the lamps—and using my rudimentary grasp of light bulbs I don't see how it would—then it's a very clever way to harness cast off electricity, even if it's only 120 milliwatts

360 Degree Lens Makes Surround Photography and Projection Possible
And here is how a beam of light goes inside this lens: A very good property of that lens is that the process can go in reverse direction, which means that you can project pictures and 3D movies right in your room on the walls, selling and floor. These features make the lens extremely useful in photography and projection.
