Scientists agree that laser beam tests in uncontrolled conditions, especially over water, are not a reliable means to prove the Earth's shape due to atmospheric refraction.

AIR AND SPACE NASA receives laser beam from 10 million miles away: 'First light' An agency spacecraft sent test data back to the Hale Telescope at Caltech’s Palomar Observatory in California ...

Creating such a powerful laser has taken time, though, and several experiments since the 1990s have failed to control the lightning as scientists hoped. This natural phenomenon has continued to ...

The claim: Laser tests show bodies of water are level, which proves the Earth is flat Scientists have ample evidence to prove the Earth is a sphere. But some social media users claim to have ...

Tesla has one simple request, and that is to have cars that have frickin' laser beams attached to their hoods. That request is now one step closer to being a ...

A laser, on the other hand, could reach high in the clouds. "We found that the discharge could follow the beam for nearly 60 meters (196 feet) before reaching the tower," Wolf said, per CNN.

And believe it or not, the beam is also out of this world. "On a very very clear night, I think it is very possible that the laser can reach space," said Suk.

The groundbreaking tractor beam, made of a hollow laser beam (a laser bright around the edges and hollow in the centre), was able to move particles 0.2 mm in diameter distances up to 20 cm (7.87 ...

Physics ‘Sound laser’ is the most powerful ever made A new device uses a reflective cavity, a tiny bead and an electrode to create a laser beam of sound particles ten times more powerful and ...
