Lasers in dentistry have been explored since the early 1960s. At its infancy, the practitioners of the field used Ruby lasers. They used the pulses emitted from such lasers to ablate the tooth enamel to ...

A research team from the Military Technical College and from Cairo University in Cairo, Egypt have developed a fluorescence hyper-spectral imaging system which can be employed for diagnosis and detection ...

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 ...

Human beings have suffered from kidney stone problems since 7000 BC. Despite advances in treatment, incidence of renal stone disorder has increased over the past few decades. Lasers have been used to ...

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 ...

  Developing a clear characterization of a tumor’s microenvironment is imperative in understanding its progress. A new approach to determining cancer’s development involves a thorough study of ...

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 ...
