Science Café: Lasers – die toppunt van tegnologie wat bemagtig

Just a toy. A solution looking for a problem. This is how the first working laser was described in 1960. Today, this incredible technology is a cornerstone of modern technology – from telecommunications, facial recognition and autonomous cars, to shooting down drones in war zones. Engela Duvenage, explores the boundaries of the (im)possible with laser physicists from the Stellenbosch Photonics Institute.

Science Café Stellenbosch is an initiative of the Faculty of Science at Stellenbosch University. Entrance is free.
