Laser-Powered Giant 3-D Display in the Works

Each trixel is made up of three laser diodes, a microscopic lens, and a rotating microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) mirror. The mirror deflects the laser beams so that viewers see different images on their left and right eyes. Each trixel is ...

Nanotechnology changes behavior of materials

One of the reasons solar cells are not used more widely is cost—the materials used to make them most efficient are expensive. Engineers are exploring ways to print solar cells from inks, but the devices don't work as well.
