Laser. Brightest light
Description
The laser beam is so powerful that it can vaporize steel, so coherent that it can be used for delicate surgery, and so adaptable that it can even be used to transport data. This overview of laser technology clearly defines what a laser is and how it functions while providing a concise history of its evolution. Visits to businesses where lasers are used, commentary by laser professionals, and entertaining demonstrations reveal the science behind the magic.
