LIGHTNING PROTECTION ... JAMES BOND-SYLE
A leading expert from Staffordshire University is helping to produce a James Bond-style device which will protect people and buildings from lightning strikes - using a laser beam and a mirror. view more (1999-12-16)
Brain surgery, new light-emitting materials and medical imaging - all are covered in the December issue of Opto and Laser Europe
LASERS ON THE BRAIN A new, minimally-invasive tool that can completely remove a brain tumour through a small hole in the skull has been delivered to surgeons in Germany. Conventional techniques use lasers to destroy brain tumours by thermal effects. This can destroy healthy tissue, and increases the risk of toxic side effects because it does not... view more...

German Science Council Recommends International Accelerator Project TESLA
The German Science Council, an agency of the German government, assessed the TESLA project planned by the research center DESY in cooperation with international partners to, be worthy of support under certain conditions. The assessments of nine appraised large scale facilities for basic research in the natural sciences have been published today.... view more... (2002-11-18)
Lasers spark new paths in radio-isotope transmutation - Scientific breakthrough in the transmutation of isotopes
Collaboration between the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) DG, the University of Jena (Germany), the University of Strathclyde (UK), Imperial College (UK), and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (UK) has led to the transmutation of long-lived radioactive iodine-129 into short-lived iodine-128 using very high intensity laser... view more...

K-State physics lab becoming a frontrunner in ultrafast laser research
For decades, the J.R. Macdonald Laboratory at Kansas State University has been known worldwide as a center for atomic collision physics using particle accelerators. Now, researchers at the lab are working toward making it known for ultrafast laser science. view more (2008-10-29)
Research Paper Illuminates How Light Pushes Atoms
A research paper published in the 18 August edition of the journal Physical Review Letters reveals a new effect in the fundamental way that laser light interacts with atoms. view more (2006-08-21)
Laser etching safe alternative for labeling grapefruit
Laser labeling of fruit and vegetables is a new, patented technology in which a low-energy carbon dioxide laser beam is used to label, or "etch" information on produce, thereby eliminating the need for common sticker-type labels. view more (2009-11-04)
MGH researchers report successful new laser treatment for vocal-cord cancer
An innovative laser treatment for early vocal-cord cancer, developed at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), successfully restores patients' voices without radiotherapy or traditional surgery, which can permanently damage vocal quality. view more (2008-05-07)
Researchers generate high-speed pulses of laser light on silicon, speeding data transmission
In the Sept. 3 issue of Optical Society of America's Optics Express, published online today, researchers announce that they have built the world's first "mode-locked silicon evanescent laser." view more (2007-08-22)
NASA Goddard Shoots the Moon to Track LRO
On certain nights, an arresting green line pierces the sky above NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. It's a laser directed at the moon, visible when the air is humid. No, we're not repelling an invasion. Instead, we're tracking our own spacecraft. view more (2009-09-25)
Artificial sight
An engineering team at the University of Dundee has just secured funding to work with European colleagues on the construction of artificial corneas which will allow all cornea replacements to go ahead without the patient having to wait for a donor. The Euro 2.4m project will help people who suffer from a number of diseases requiring corneal... view more... (2004-06-03)
Looking at neurons from all sides
A new technique that marries a fast-moving laser beam with a special microscope that look at tissues in different optical planes will enable scientists to get a three-dimensional view of neurons or nerve cells as they interact, said Baylor College of Medicine scientists in a report that appears today in the journal Nature Neuroscience. view more (2008-04-28)
With double frequency to deeper blue
Light transports data at high speed over fibre-optic networks. Light measures and creates images of large and small objects in scanners and microscopes. Light writes information onto all sorts of recording media and surfaces. The best-quality light is produced by lasers, which have meanwhile become an indispensable tool - not only in medicine and... view more... (2003-07-01)
A precision metal-cutting tool for use in automated high volume manufacturing
Cutting high-thickness metal sheets is a basic manufacturing process common to a wide range of industrial sectors, from heavy carpentry to ship-building. Laser-cutting technology ought, in theory, to have significant advantages over traditional cutting processes, among them high cutting speed, no tool wear and a reduction in the transfer of energy... view more...

3-D Laser Scanning: A New Soil Quality Measurement
Soil researchers pay close attention to bulk density, as it is one of the most common soil measurements and it is often used as a measure of soil quality. view more (2008-12-04)
Sharper pictures for the dream factory
Computer-generated special effects are a staple of contemporary film production. Digital images introduce complications, however, once it comes to projecting them onto movie screens in high quality. The majority of projectors still work with standard 35 mm film, which means that digital image sequences must be transferred frame by frame onto... view more... (2002-11-14)
No Justification For Early Laser Treatment Of Uncomplicated Childhood Haemangiomas (pp 502, 521)
Early laser treatment of uncomplicated childhood haemangiomas (strawberry birthmarks) is no more beneficial than no intervention, conclude authors of a UK study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Childhood haemangiomas-the most common soft tissue tumours of infancy-occur in around 10% of children under one year of age. 90% of haemangiomas occur... view more... (2002-08-14)
Gold Nanorods May Make Safer Cancer Treatment
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of California, San Francisco, have found an even more effective and safer way to detect and kill cancer cells. view more (2006-03-14)
Lighting up paper
Researchers have developed a sophisticated way of measuring the print quality of paper. The work, published today in the Institute of Physics journal, Measurement Science and Technology, describes how Jari Palviainen and colleagues at the Universities of Joensuu and Oulu in Finland, use what is known as a diffractive optical element-based sensor... view more...
