When a bone break is too severe to heal on its own, surgeons often rely on grafts or rigid metal implants — but both come with serious drawbacks. Now, researchers at ETH Zurich have created a ...

In-demand lasers and microwave weapons kill drones by using either burning hot beams or electromagnetic force fields.

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's National Ignition Facility (NIF) is the hottest place on Earth for the briefest of moments during an experiment. Now, it can be one of the brightest places ...

The Basel team modified its laser pulse from a Gaussian profile to a top-hat shape, theorizing that a beamshaping operation would prevent laser energy being consumed by the walls of the cut. A "capped ...

Lasers cut precisely and without contact—ideal for surgery. The problem is that in hard tissues such as bone, they are too ...

GWEIKE expands its ultrafast laser platform to deliver high-precision glass cutting, reduced microcracks, and stable ...

But focus too much on matters of geopolitics, and you can lose sight of something arguably even more profound: Laser guns are ...

Abstract: N-type TOPCon Solar cells with Laser-Enhanced Contact Optimization (LECO) Process has become an important role in photovoltaic cell technology. During transition from non-LECO process to ...

Solid-state batteries promise greater safety, higher energy density, and new degrees of freedom in cell design. Yet the path from laboratory cell to industrial production is challenging. Laser ...

Lasers cut precisely and without contact – ideal for surgery. The problem is that, in hard tissues such as bone, they are too slow and do not cut deep enough.
