Nanolaser

A nanolaser is a laser, or a device that produces a powerful beam of light, that is very small. It is so small that it can be used in things the size of a single atom. Nanolasers use special materials to produce very small beams of light that can be used to do things like make very precise measurements of things or to send messages from one place to another.
