A Solar System Internet? Space Laser Test Moves Us Closer

Scientists at the European Space Agency used a laser to communicate with a spacecraft 165 million miles (265 million kilometers) away in deep space for the first time, marking a major step forward in their efforts to build optical communication systems for future missions to the Moon and beyond. Scientists at the Kryoneri Observatory near Athens, Greece, shot a powerful laser at NASA’s Psyche mission, which then sent a return signal to the Helmos Observatory, which lies some 23 miles (37 km) aw

Integrated photonic source of Gottesman–Kitaev–Preskill qubits

Here we provide experimental details on each major component in this experiment: the laser subsystem, photonic integrated chip, PNR detectors for state heralding and the homodyne detection system used for state tomography. Further details can be found in the Supplementary Information. Laser system The laser subsystem is composed of five lasers: two lasers (P1 and P2) for driving the dual-pump SFWM process that generates squeezing, a local oscillator laser used to perform homodyne detection and

Edible Microlasers Could Revolutionize Food Tracking and Safety

In a delicious turn of events, scientists succeeded in taking the optics of olive oil to create the first-ever microlaser made entirely from edible materials. If commercialized, they could offer an easy and safe way to monitor food or medications from inside your body. The technology, introduced earlier this month in the journal Advanced Optical Materials, exploits an interesting tendency for droplets of common cooking oils, which emit a photon of light when subjected to a certain amount of ene

The Best Printers for Home and Office: Brother, HP, and More

Before anything else, you'll have to decide between ink and laser. I'll get into the details when it comes to each model, but the most important consideration is paper type, because it’s a limitation rather than a benefit. Laser printers use heat in the bonding process, which means if you regularly print on windowed envelopes or photo paper, you'll need to either use an ink printer or change to a thermally-safe alternative, which can be cost prohibitive if you print a lot. Inkjets are the most

Prices start at $499, but orders placed before July 12 can score 10% off the price. XGIMI is mainly known for its high-quality and expensive home projectors, but its portable projector lineup has its own

Finally, a portable laser projector with a battery-powered tripod (and it's on sale)

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Xgimi, the brand behind the much-lauded Horizon S Max, just released two portable projectors -- the MoGo 4, and the higher-end MoGo 4 Laser -- and they're a big level-up for the category. The new pair of projectors are expressly portable, connect to a stand for built-in charging, and look more like Bluetooth speakers. Also: Finally, a portable 4K projector worthy of replacing my TV - and it supports Dolby Vision We recently went hands-on with the MoGo 4 devices (which are phys

Xgimi adds a laser option and built-in batteries to its MoGo 4 projectors

is a senior reporter who’s been covering and reviewing the latest gadgets and tech since 2006, but has loved all things electronic since he was a kid. Xgimi is sticking batteries into the latest versions of its compact MoGo projectors, making them even more portable since you no longer need to bring an extra power bank if you don’t have access to an outlet. Both the MoGo 4 and MoGo 4 Laser are supposed to have enough built-in power to watch a two-and-a-half-hour movie, and they include other we

This powerful "spy camera" can capture facial details from over 60 miles away

Serving tech enthusiasts for over 25 years.TechSpot means tech analysis and advice you can trust Forward-looking: Researchers in China have developed an exceptionally powerful synthetic aperture lidar system that could enable the nation to scrutinize foreign assets – particularly military spy satellites – with unprecedented precision. They have already demonstrated its ability to capture highly detailed images from more than 60 miles away. Worse still, if this technology were deployed in low E
