Titled “String Beam,” the installation by Thoreen & Ritter uses about 800 strands of monofilament — about 2 miles of fishing line — running from a skylight to the floor and adjacent wall ...

Physicists have long struggled to combat heating in the ion beams used in high-energy experiments. Laser cooling can be used to reduce collisions between the ions, which create heat and reduce the ...

A team from Bonn University in Germany has used two sets of laser beams to create a string of evenly separated caesium atoms. Such structures could act as a scalable memory for quantum information ...

Eloquently dubbed the Beamz Interactive Music System, it has six laser beam "strings" that when struck by a hand or finger produces one of 100 instrumental sounds.

Laser beams have been used to pluck individual nanowires, making them vibrate like incredibly small, ultrasonic guitar strings. Todd Murray, Kamil Ekinci and student Ashwinkumar Sampathkumar from ...

Thus, it’s able to drive both a low-beam string and create a high beam by adding LEDs to the low beam string. The same driver switches over and drives a higher-voltage, yet lower-current, DRL. 6.
