Researchers have successfully used lasers to precisely steer tiny devices known as “metajets” in three dimensions.
It’s a breakthrough in optical propulsion that could one day help power interstellar travel without traditional fuel.
Reaching the nearest star system, Alpha Centauri, would take hundreds of thousands of years using current rocket propulsion technology.
Researchers in the mechanical engineering department at Texas A&M University have demonstrated a new approach
