Silicon Valley startup xLight has raised $40 million, aiming to build the first prototype of a new class of laser that could ...

This micro-targeted laser cooling approach isn't entirely new. As noted above, in 2012, a team at the University of Copenhagen used a laser to chill a nanoscale membrane down to -269°C.

Using this idea of laser cooling, one can slow down atoms and molecules to form gasses with temperatures close to the lowest possible one, about 273 degrees below zero on the Celsius scale.

In March 2023 at Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona, crews from 4-60th ADAR and the DE M-SHORAD prototype team came together to conduct a highly successful capability demonstration during a Live Fire ...
