...While most graffiti crews use spray paint to mark buildings and urban infrastructure, Roth and Powderly, the artists behind the Graffiti Research Lab, have perfected a unique form of temporary high-tech graffiti they call laser tagging that utilizes a laser pointer in lieu of paint, a projector in place of a spray. Instead of hitting dark subway tunnels and back alleys, they turn their attention to public places such as skyscrapers and monuments. A growing legion of fans turn out regularly to witness live demonstrations of their light shows (see video of their latest graffiti missions), but most...
...When Harvard was on the power play, Vaillancourt would set up near the blueline, where she would wait with uncanny patience and laser a pass through traffic to an open teammate that only someone with her vision could...
...course, black is like a mask," says Lacroix, who calls this shift in sensibility a new minimalism.

If both nations follow parallel roads into space, a new balance of forces could emerge. The President hopes that an emphasis on defensive weapons could be linked to a negotiated reduction in offensive missiles. But the Administration has not even begun to work...
...defenses. The satellites could also be vulnerable. "Many potential counters, such as decoys or space mines, have the power to neutralize space-based systems," says Stanford University Physicist and Arms Control Expert Sidney Drell. His colleague Arthur Schawlow, who won the Nobel Prize for his work on developing the laser, agrees: "A laser battle station out in space would be a sitting duck...
