    Japan trials 100-kilowatt laser weapon — it can cut through metal and drones mid-flight

    Japan has deployed a system that fires laser beams with 100 kilowatts of energy — powerful enough to disable small drones. It was installed on board a 6,200-ton (6.3 million kg) warship.

    The weapon combines 10 lasers (each 10 kW in power) into…

    Glowing neurons let scientists watch the brain work in real time

    About ten years ago, researchers began exploring a bold idea: using bioluminescent light to see what the brain is doing in real time. Instead of shining light onto brain tissue from the outside, they wondered whether neurons could be made to glow…
