Compound eyes provide insects with the ability to quickly react to danger. These eyes posses a much wider field-of-view, higher light sensitivity, and superior sensitivity to motion when compared to the ...

Ever since graphene sheets were isolated from bulk graphite in 2004, two-dimensional materials have received an immense amount of interest for their unexpected and novel electronic and optical properties. ...

Lasers came into the field of ophthalmology in 1961, when Ruby laser was used to create ocular lesions in rabbits. Unfortunately, creating vascular lesions in the human retina was not effective at that ...

Cardiovascular diseases are among the top causes of death and morbidity in developed nations. In particular, diseases of the coronary arteries are most prevalent. Lasers are well suited to diagnose and ...

A research team from the University of Texas at Austin has published their findings on using Raman spectrometry for biophysical cancer analysis to analyze skin cancer. Their findings were applied to assist ...

The first medical application of lasers was reported by Goldman in 1962. In cardiovascular surgery, McGuff first used a Ruby laser in 1963 for the experimental ablation of atherosclerotic plaques. After a ...

Low temperature physics has helped us produce exotic quantum materials such as superconductors. This usually requires cryogenic fluids such as liquid nitrogen and helium for operation. Recently cooling ...

Since the first demonstration of the laser in 1960, people have endeavored to make lasers more compact. Semiconductor lasers achieved this desired compactness employing so called heterostructures. This ...

The Very Large Telescope – located in northern Chile- is one of the world’s most advanced optical instruments.  The VLT consists of four unit telescopes capable of high-resolution spectroscopy and ...

3D body scanning lends itself to a wide variety of fields. Healthcare professionals can use body scans to make 3D printed prosthetics, animation studios can use body scans for highly-accurate portraits, ...
