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 ...

The Impact of Particle Pollution Environmental pollution is directly linked to a long list of health problems including asthma, decreased lung function, and cardiovascular disease. A study conducted by a ...

In 1984, Charles Hull placed the first building block of 3D printing technology: stereolithography. This early technique used lasers to bind polymers together in a predetermined design. Engineers used a ...

From night vision cameras to powerful telescopes, the range of applications involving infrared technology is vast. In the previous article, we covered the basics of infrared technology and the types of ...

An object that has a temperature greater than absolute zero emits some type of radiation. More often than not, objects surrounding us emit radiation in the form of heat that is not visible to the naked ...

Small mechanical systems and optics are interlinked in many ways. People use lasers to create small electronic systems like those found in semiconductors. Increasingly, light plays an important role in ...

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 ...

Multi-photon microscopy is a useful tool for analyzing in-vivo interactions between photons and living tissues. One of its characteristics is deep tissue penetration, meaning it can get a better look at ...

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 ...
