Since the invention of the first operating laser in 1960, lasers have been designed in various regions of the electromagnetic spectrum and output powers. Soon after the advent of semiconductor fabrication ...

A team of researchers from Keio University in Japan has published their results on utilizing laser processing to produce biodegradable polymers for use in tissue engineering. Biocompatible polymers are ...

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 ...

Microfluidics is the field of science and engineering that involves itself with fluids at a sub-millimeter scale. Many biological, chemical, and physical processes either occur or can be simulated at such ...

Silicon photonics is the technology of using optical processing components made of silicon itself, rather than other materials. Electronic interconnects with copper contribute to high power consumption and ...

In many tissue engineering experiments, a form of support is required to promote cell growth. Three dimensional scaffolds provide an artificial extracellular matrix, attachment sites for cells, support for ...

Developments in combination laser processing techniques have the potential to improve the manufacturing of metal parts. Researchers at the University of Basque Country proposed a combination of Laser Metal ...

From Star Wars to Star Trek, the idea of interstellar travel has always fascinated us. Today, scientists and researchers are looking for ways to turn the vision of interstellar travel into reality. One of ...

Adaptive optics is a technology to compensate for distortions in an imaging system. It typically uses a deformable mirror, that deforms to adjust for incoming distortion as the image is taken. It has been ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado, Boulder have been experimenting with laser sources called optical frequency combs to find a new way of studying molecular structures. Frequency combs get their ...
