Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication system enables vehicles to wirelessly exchange information about their speed, location, and traffic information. The technology behind V2V communication allows ...

The millimeter-wave (MMW) region of the electromagnetic spectrum is a region of frequency band between 30 gigahertz and 300 gigahertz, and it is called the Extremely High Frequency range. These high ...

High power lasers are used in the industry routinely for cutting, drilling, welding and micromachining materials. They have also found applications in medicine where tissue needs to be cut or heated. The ...

X-Rays and Imaging We commonly associate x-ray imaging with hospitals and broken bones, but why are x-rays the chosen source of radiation instead of visible light or electron beams? The high initial energy ...

Researchers from Tsinghua University in Beijing, China, recently published their findings on using the Monte Carlo method during the design of skin-like optical devices. The Monte Carlo method allows for ...

In recent medical research fields, continuum robot is becoming a prevalent topic because it can traverse confined spaces and manipulate objects in complex environments due to its compliant structure. With ...

Edge emitting and surface emitting lasers present two configurations for laser emission using semiconductors. Edge emitting lasers came first but were quickly replaced by surface emitting lasers for ...

Laser marking of metals is becoming an increasingly important process in product identification and branding. On our blog, we have previously written about the basic principles of laser marking, the proper ...

In 1963, Leon Goldman became the first person to report using lasers in dermatology. Goldman reported the effects of Ruby laser in the selective destruction of cutaneous pigmented structures, like black ...
