Researchers have discovered a way to entangle photons to help lasers penetrate fog and aid in surveillance. Led by Jung-Tsung Shen, the team at the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington ...

The HELIOS system, installed in 2022, is designed to neutralize drones, disable enemy sensors, and potentially counter missiles, providing a cost-effective, unlimited munition source.

The US Navy’s HELIOS laser weapon, a cutting-edge directed energy system, has demonstrated its potential in recent tests, ...

A CO2 bicycle inflater is then used to blow through an e-cigarette to create a fog. This makes the red lasers readily visible to the human eye. This ersatz lightsaber does have its limitations ...

HELIOS is a high-powered laser weapon designed to neutralise threats like drones, fast attack boats, and even missiles.

Indeed, communications and other laser-based technologies can be hampered by adverse conditions such as fog, extreme temperatures or long distances. Here, the researchers have based their work on ...
