Researchers Discover a Way to Build Anti-Laser, Based On Random Scattering

The laser is the flawless light source: subject to the provision of energy, it produces light of a specific, distinct color. However, it is also possible to develop the opposite—an object that impeccably absorbs light of a specific color and disperses the energy almost totally.
