Agreed, but what made it post worthy here is that SONY wants to use in in upcoming consumer Blu-Ray technology. Also, the fact that they could put this in a BD burner means it'll be small and able to run off a 12v source. The power requirement might hold it back from being a handheld but could...

Check this out guys. Sony and Tohoku University announce a new laser allowing for more blue ray storage. It's a 405nm laser that has acheived an output of greater than 100W! And people were worried about the 1W 445nm... I'm sure this tech is still a ways out from getting to consumers hands...

You sig bugs the crap out of me because A. It wastes a lot of space. B. it's animated and annoying. C. Red/Blue are terrible color combinations, add the sparkles and it takes my eyes a moment to adjust and actually be able to read the damn thing. This one's actually much better because it...

Your avatar is the only one that bothers me. not because I've got anything against the state of Virgina or anything (although radar detectors are illegal and that sucks when driving through the state on 95; so many troopers) but because there's no nip slip! BTW, what ever happened with your...

So in summary if I follow right, glasses are for safety and should always be worn. If, on the other hand, you want to actually see the blue laser you spent more on, you could risk your own safety and take the glasses off. If you don't point the laser at anything reflective, you should be pretty...

It's the Europeans you need to watch out for! Video gamer hunts down, stabs man who killed his online 'Counter-Strike' character

I don't own any guns yet, but I plan to. I'm really interested in target shooting, don't think I'd ever want to hunt. I've been the the range a few times. Ideally I think I'd want a nice 12 or 15 gauge shotgun for trap. My brother's a police officer, he carrys a Glock-23. I've shot one, very...

This thread makes me laugh. Look, I found Mike's wife! YouTube - Telemarketer Call: Crazy Old Lady And his daughter! YouTube - Lady Calls 911 Over Wrong Burger King Order Seriously, you take things WAY too seriously. How on earth would that fool ever find you and your family to "blind them"...

The US Navy has tested a laser to be equipt on all ships eventually which has the power to shoot down enemy planes. It's actually 6 lasers and an advanced targeting system which aligns the beams to a single spot on the aircraft until it is brought down. There's a crazy video over at gizmodo...

So we're all aware that powerful enough lasers can heat and burn solids. But what about liquids? Lasers usually penetrate water with little distortion or energy loss right? So what about other, more dense liquids. Or what about liquids with a high volume of suspended solids. If you make a pulp...

Let me start off with a quick intro. I love lighting, I do a lot of theatrical lighting, but concert / DJ lighting is where my real passion is. I'm just started to get into lasers, and I'm thinking about starting to build my collection. I'm looking for some good scanning lasers, DMX control is a...

It's not possible that their whole company was somehow taken over by thieves is it? The classic "if it's too good to be true, it probably is" is coming to mind... we'll see how it goes...

I would shine it in the eyepiece, not in the lens, that way if you somehow do hit the shutter the mirror flips up and can't do anything. Yeah, good point. I bet if you took apart a lens you could play with the individual elements but combine they're not meant to really change light that much so...

Anyone ever check out what happens when you point a laser through a large SLR camera lens? Many high end lenses have dozens of optics inside the barrel which could really do some interesting stuff to the beam. You could also in theory point a laser through the view finder on an SLR, then focus...
