Imagine a laser-like beam of light — the one found in barcode scanners and laser printers, brilliant and extraordinarily precise. Its light particles move step by step with each other, producing what physicists call coherent light: a beam that can cut steel, transmit information and stimulate the generation of new skin cells. Traditionally, producing coherent light involves using other lasers, which is expensive and energy-demanding; however, Trinity researchers suggest we can create high-tech lasers using any kind of light — including sunlight! To grasp the idea behind their theory, let’s delve into the physics of light first. The light itself is made of tiny particles... Read more »
