We could soon see the potential of laser technology expand dramatically. Ways to make lasers smaller are being discovered through collaborative efforts of researchers at Arizona State University and Technical University of Eindhoven in the Netherlands. The work opens up possibilities for using nanoscale lasers to significantly improve the performance of computers and speed up Internet access .
Oxford scientists have created a transparent form of aluminium by bombarding the metal with the world's most powerful soft X-ray laser. 'Transparent aluminium' previously only existed in science fiction, featuring in the movie Star Trek IV, but the real material is an exotic new state of matter with implications for planetary science and nuclear fusion.
With the "Reinhard Koselleck-Program" the Deutsche Forschungsgesellschaft (DFG) has an independent funding scheme for especially innovative and risky research since 2008. Now the experimental physicist Prof. Manfred Bayer from TU Dortmund is one of the supported scientists.
PinPointe FootLaser today announced it has submitted its innovative new laser treatment for toenail fungus (Onychomycosis) to Health Canada for approval. As the Federal department responsible for helping Canadians maintain and improve their health, Health Canada reviews medical devices to assess their safety, effectiveness and quality before being authorized for sale in Canada.
Scientists at RIKEN have developed a way to measure the wavelike properties of ultrafast (attosecond) light pulses - an important step toward being able to probe the dynamics of electrons, atoms and molecules.
TCZ Pte. Ltd., a joint venture of Cymer, Inc. (NASDAQ:CYMI) and Carl Zeiss SMT AG, announced today that the company has received its first order--from a large Korean display maker--for the TCZ-900A, TCZ's production tool for flat panel display (FPD) fabrication.
Scientists from UCL have created light-activated antimicrobial surfaces that could help fight the spread of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs). Professor Ivan Parkin (UCL Chemistry) and Professor Mike Wilson (UCL Eastman Dental Institute) have modified silicone with tiny amounts of commonly used dyes.
An astrophysics experiment in America has demonstrated how fundamental research in one subject area can have a profound effect on work in another as the instruments used for the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) pave the way for quantum experiments on a macroscopic scale.
The new CUBE 640-100 from Coherent, Inc., (Santa Clara, CA) (Nasdaq: COHR) is the highest power 640 nm (red) diode laser module now commercially available.
Dr. Chunlei Guo and his team of researchers for the project discovered a way to transform a shiny piece of metal into one that is pitch black, not by paint, but by using incredibly intense bursts of laser light. The black metal created, absorbs all radiation that shines upon it.
