Photonic crystal concept advances laser light sail propulsion
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Mar 11, 2026
Most space missions still rely on chemical rockets that must carry their own propellant, adding mass and limiting speed and range. Researchers are investigating light sails driven by powerful lasers as an alternative, using radiation pressure from reflected light to generate thrust without onboard fuel. Traditional light sail concepts ty...
