By combining experimental measurements and modeling, scientists have precisely described the process of interaction between a femtosecond laser and amorphous silica. The modeling of this ...

Enough landmines are buried underground worldwide to circle Earth twice at the equator, but the identification and removal of these explosives is costly and time-consuming. New research could help ...

Israel expects its “Iron Beam” laser defense system to be operational within one year, saying it will bring “a new era of warfare” as it engages in a war of drones and missiles with Iran ...

Certain patient characteristics may increase the likelihood of encountering difficulty in using the femtosecond laser in cataract surgery, and should be considered during patient selection.

A lidar scanner uses laser pulses to map the features of land below. The technology has been increasingly used in archaeology — in the past few years it has helped uncover a lost Maya city ...

In femtosecond fieldsocpy by using an ultrashort laser pulse the molecule's signal is separated from the laser pulse itself, making it easier to detect the vibrational response in a background ...

Any advance in laser tech has huge potential across a whole range of fields – from space comms to fusion power – and we just got a big one: ultra-short laser pulses of up to 100 megawatts, the most ...

To minimize the risks of surgeries near critical neuronal structures, a research team led by Dr. Achim Lenenbach, head of the Laser Medical Technology and Biophotonics Department at the Fraunhofer ...
