Scientists may have created a \u201cnight vision laser\u201d.<\/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 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
What we have accomplished over the last 100 years is remarkable<\/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. 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. Technology has enabled the human species to progress at a rapid pace never seen before in our history.<\/p>\n
The energy sector has been revolutionized over the last few decades<\/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, 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. 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 is only going in one direction: up.\u00a0<\/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<\/a> may change how we move forward as a society. A controllable and steerable beam of light definitely sounds like something out of Star Wars, but it\u2019s real.<\/p>\n Scientists inadvertently created a \u201cnight vision laser pointer\u201d<\/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. As we know, there is a world of hidden infrared light 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 An ultra-thin chip that acts to create its own beam of light<\/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.<\/p>\n They found that the chip produces a bright green beam.<\/p>\n
