Skin cooling associated with increased risk of discoloration after laser treatment
A cooling technique intended to protect the skin may actually increase the risk of discoloration in dark-skinned patients undergoing laser treatments for mole-like skin lesions. view more (2007-09-18)
Scientists at the University of the Basque Country succeed in cooling solid material with laser
A team of researchers at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) have experimentally demonstrated something that other scientists have been trying to achieve for decades: the cooling of erbium-doped materials with laser light. view more (2006-07-27)
Bon MOT: Innovative atom trap catches highly magnetic atoms
A research team from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Maryland has succeeded in cooling atoms of a rare-earth element, erbium, to within two millionths of a degree of absolute zero using a novel trapping and laser cooling technique. view more (2008-04-03)
Even a little cooling helps after cardiac arrest
As many as 400,000 people in North America suffer sudden cardiac arrest. Only 30% have their hearts restarted, and only about 6% survive to hospital discharge. Once the heart is restarted, a significant factor for subsequent death is brain injury. view more (2006-05-18)
Laser trapping of erbium may lead to novel devices
Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have used lasers to cool and trap erbium atoms, a "rare earth" heavy metal with unusual optical, electronic and magnetic properties. view more (2006-05-01)
Most powerful laser in the world fires up
The Texas Petawatt laser reached greater than one petawatt of laser power on Monday morning, March 31, making it the highest powered laser in the world, Todd Ditmire, a physicist at The University of Texas at Austin, said. view more (2008-04-08)
Researchers putting a freeze on oscillator vibrations
University of Oregon physicists have successfully landed a one-two punch on a tiny glass sphere, refrigerating it in liquid helium and then dosing its perimeter with a laser beam, to bring its naturally occurring mechanical vibrations to a near standstill. view more (2009-06-18)
'Radio wave cooling' offers new twist on laser cooling
Visible and ultraviolet laser light has been used for years to cool trapped atoms-and more recently larger objects-by reducing the extent of their thermal motion. view more (2007-09-17)
Nose straightened by laser
A unique methodology that allows to control the form of cartilage tissues in the human organism has been developed by researchers of the Moscow Institute of Laser and Information Technologies Problems, Russian Academy of Sciences. A new methodology is based on strictly controllable heating of cartilages - for example, those of crooked nasal septum... view more... (2003-11-28)
Cooling milk using sun energy
The company Tarre of Navarre, Basque Country, in collaboration with the Public University of Navarre has built a prototype for cooling milk. This cooling and maintenance system takes the energy directly from a photovoltaic system and so there is no need to use batteries. The prototype integrates two concentric cylindrical tanks in a single... view more... (2002-12-03)
Laser treatment
Researchers in Russia have used laser treatment to cure male sexual dysfunction. The Institute of Physics magazine - Opto & Laser Europe - reports this week that after treatment with a device developed by Ekaterina Koultchavenia of the Novosibirsk Research Institute, all 24 male patients in the trial re-gained the ability to have spontaneous... view more...

UCSB researchers develop hybrid silicon evanescent laser
In what promises to be an important advance, researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara have developed a novel laser by bonding optical gain layers directly to a silicon laser cavity. view more (2005-11-16)
World's most powerful ultraviolet laser inaugurated
Titania will be the most powerful ultraviolet laser world-wide and has the capacity to generate up to 10 terawatt power in single pulses of duration down to 300 femtoseconds. It will be inaugurated at a special ceremony today (Tuesday 2 April) by Dr Paul Williams, Chief Executive of CCLRC, who will fire the new facility's first shot. Titania is... view more...

UK researchers announce continuous Terahertz emission innovation
Researchers at the University of Leeds' Institute of Microwaves and Photonics have developed a novel way of generating continuous tunable Terahertz (THz) radiation. view more (2002-11-14)
Snowball Antarctica - early Drake passage opening led to global change
New results shed light on how Antarctica became the icy, barren continent that we know today. view more (2005-08-31)
Quantum goes massive
An astrophysics experiment in America has demonstrated how fundamental research in one subject area can have a profound effect on work in another as the instruments used for the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) pave the way for quantum experiments on a macroscopic scale. view more (2009-07-16)
Cooling analgesia harnessed to relieve chronic pain
By experimentally activating a special protein involved in mediating sensations of coolness, researchers have made a breakthrough in understanding how the body's nervous system can be stimulated to relieve chronic pain. view more (2006-08-22)
Scientists in Japan design first optical pacemaker for laboratory research
The world's first optical pacemaker is described in an article published today in Optics Express, the Optical Society's open-access journal. A team of scientists at Osaka University in Japan show that powerful, but very short, laser pulses can help control the beating of heart muscle cells. view more (2008-05-28)
Dual-focus lenses cut thick metal fastest
V&S Scientific, the UK company that licenses the technology from the Force Institute in Denmark, says that demand for the dual focus lenses is beyond expectation, even though they cost much more than conventional optics for laser cutting. The company exceeded its 1999 sales projections for the lenses by the Spring, reports the July issue of Opto... view more... (1999-06-30)
Laser-cooling brings large object near absolute zero
Using a laser-cooling technique that could one day allow scientists to observe quantum behavior in large objects, MIT researchers have cooled a coin-sized object to within one degree of absolute zero. view more (2007-04-09)
