Imagine satellites in space, perpetually powered by invisible beams of energy transmitted from Earth. This could soon be a reality with the emergence of wireless power beaming technology. This ...

Military researchers are now proving that drones do not always need to carry their own fuel or batteries. In recent tests, aircraft have stayed aloft while being fed energy from the ground through ...

Looking forward to a future where laser beams replace power lines, DAPRA's Persistent Optical Wireless Energy Relay (POWER) program has set new records for transmitting more power wirelessly over ...

The next frontier in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology is all about keeping these aircraft fueled indefinitely. If we can crack it, drones could stay in the air longer, avoid landing to ...

Coherent beam combining (CBC) in fiber laser systems represents a transformative approach to surmount the inherent power scaling limitations of individual fiber laser emitters. By precisely ...
