Scientists may have created a “night vision laser”.<\/p>\n
Our extraordinary progression as a society has been gaining serious traction in recent years. When a team of scientists made an ultra-thin chip to study the unseen light<\/strong> of the world, they accidentally created something else entirely, a steerable green beam.<\/p>\n How can this new innovation steer the green light it creates?<\/p>\n The last century has been a progressive one for our species.<\/p>\n In the 1920s, the advent of penicillin created the modern world of antibiotics.<\/strong> Before Alexander Fleming discovered it in 1928, they simply did not exist, forcing millions into a world of health issues with no possible solution.<\/p>\n The pace of progression has been remarkable as we enter a new era.<\/p>\n In 1924, we circumnavigated the world in 175 days; a mere 45 years later, we were landing people on the Moon.<\/strong> Technology has enabled the human species to progress at a rapid pace never seen before in our history.<\/p>\n Our technological advancement has mostly been a necessity to generate more energy for everyday life.<\/p>\n And the methods used for power production are changing at a rapid pace. Solar panels have become the latest must-have for any climate-conscious homeowner<\/strong>, and can easily power your entire home with a few simple hacks to increase efficiency.<\/a><\/p>\n The latest issues that have emerged out of the Strait of Hormuz have devastated the global price of Brent Crude Oil.<\/p>\n Some states are seeing gas stations with up to $8 per gallon<\/strong>. The public outcry has reached a fever pitch as people face increasingly high prices for everything from gas to flights. The partial government shutdown has not helped in that regard.<\/p>\n Certain states have implemented policies to help those who need it most.<\/p>\n Several states have been reducing the rates for electricity<\/a> for some customers. However, it would appear that the price of keeping the lights on<\/strong> is only going in one direction: up. <\/p>\n While the transition to renewable energy generation is a step in the right direction, it does not really help us right now and is more of a long-term solution.<\/p>\n A recent innovation that has emerged from the Advanced Science Research Center<\/em><\/a> may change how we move forward as a society. A controllable and steerable beam of light<\/strong> definitely sounds like something out of Star Wars<\/em>, but it’s real.<\/p>\n A team of researchers from the Advanced Science Research Center has created an astonishing innovation.<\/p>\n The team turned a complex scientific experiment into something straight out of a James Bond movie<\/em>. As we know, there is a world of hidden infrared light<\/strong> that exists around us, which has been the basis for new technological innovations like the James Webb Space Telescope.<\/p>\n Infrared light telescopes can peer past the mountains of space dust to reveal some amazing truths about our universe.<\/a> But this innovation is much closer to home.<\/p>\n The team created what they call a metasurface chip that is far thinner than a strand of human hair. Initially, they only wanted to study how the chip reacts to infrared light waves, but they stumbled on another unexpected finding.<\/strong><\/p>\n They found that the chip produces a bright green beam.<\/p>\n What makes this discovery even cooler is that the beam of green infrared light is not only visible but can actually be steered in a specific direction<\/strong>. We have learned the possible military applications of beams of light<\/a>, but this one could lead to revelations in our most-needed technology.<\/p>\n The green beam of light could affect everything from Smartphone Night-Vision to better medical imaging in the near future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Scientists may have created a “night vision laser”.
