Perforating aircraft wings with minute holes could make for more efficient flying.
One way to make aeroplanes fly more efficiently is to drill millions of tiny holes in the leading edges of the wings. Like the dimples on a golf ball this has the effect of reducing drag. However, producing these holes on a manufacturing scale is not yet commercially feasible. Researchers at Heriot-Watt University, funded by the Engineering and... view more... (2002-01-14)
Destroying amyloid proteins with lasers
Researchers have found that a technique used to visualize amyloid fibers in the laboratory might have the potential to destroy them in the clinic. view more (2009-01-08)
Laser Surgery Probe Targets Individual Cancer Cells
Mechanical engineering Assistant Professor Adela Ben-Yakar at The University of Texas at Austin has developed a laser "microscalpel" that destroys a single cell while leaving nearby cells intact, which could improve the precision of surgeries for cancer, epilepsy and other diseases. view more (2008-06-25)
Results with newer bladeless LASIK equivalent to standard microkeratome LASIK
A Mayo Clinic study comparing femtosecond (bladeless) and mechanical microkeratome LASIK surgeries has found equal results from both types six months post-surgery, using a variety of vision and eye health measurements. view more (2006-05-04)
Ultra-fast, ultra-intense laser has clean-cut advantage
Many people equate lasers with a sci-fi battle in a galaxy far, far away or, closer to home, with grocery store scanners and compact disc players. view more (2008-03-14)
Transistor laser functions as non-linear electronic switch, processor
The transistor laser invented by scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has now been found to possess fundamental non-linear characteristics that are new to a transistor and permit its use as a dual-input, dual-output, high-frequency signal processor. view more (2006-02-07)
Promising early evidence of the superior benefits of drug therapy for diabetic eye disease
A JDRF collaboration between Johns Hopkins researchers and Genentech has shown that a drug for the treatment of diabetic eye disease has performed better in clinical trials than the current standard treatment using laser surgery. view more (2008-04-30)
Laser treatment restores art
FIRING laser beams at priceless paintings might seem the height of folly, putting the painting`s delicate pigments at risk. So while conservators have for decades used ultraviolet lasers to clean up grubby sculptures, they have always fought shy of using them on soiled paintings. But now a study has shown you can fire away with impunity. Lasers... view more... (2002-09-25)
Growing Quantum Dots
Now physicists need not fully control the growth of laser crystals, because the crystals grow themselves. Professor Nikolay Ledentsov and his team at the Ioffe Physico-Technical Institute have learned how to provide special conditions in which crystals can grow defectless. Growing crystals with... view more... (2002-09-09)
Laser-optical mine detection needle will facilitate mine clearing
The "laser-optical mine detection needle" is intended to facilitate the removal of land mines for humanitarian reasons. The working group of Professor Dr. Wolfgang Schade at the Institute of Physics und Physical Technologies at the Technical University of Clausthal intends to exhibit a "laser-optical mine detection needle" at... view more...

Holography and Laser Technology in Medicine
Bonn, 2002-11-18. From the 20th to the 23rd of November 2002 the caesar research center presents new medical applications for laser technologies at the MEDICA Trade Fair in Dusseldorf (Hall 12, Stand C32, Science Region Bonn). The scientists present a rapid method for three-dimensional facial topometry. Additionally, they introduce a C02 laser... view more... (2002-11-18)
New 'implanted contacts' designed to fix nearsightedness
UT Southwestern Medical Center ophthalmologists will be the first in the area to insert a new type of implanted lens to fix nearsightedness. view more (2006-02-28)
High tech implants to aid facial reconstruction to be developed at Loughborough University
Loughborough University researchers have been awarded more than £200,000 to develop state-of-the-art tailor made implants for people requiring facial reconstructive surgery. view more (2004-08-26)
Gold nanoparticles prove to be hot stuff
Gold nanoparticles are highly efficient and sensitive "handles" for biological molecules being manipulated and tracked by lasers, but they also can heat up fast-by tens of degrees in just a few nanoseconds-which could either damage the molecules or help study them. view more (2006-09-01)
Lasers Generate Underwater Sound
Scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory are developing a new technology for use in underwater acoustics. The new technology uses flashes of laser light to remotely create underwater sound. view more (2009-09-08)
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)
New laser technique may help find supernova
One single atom of a certain isotope of hafnium found on Earth would prove that a supernova once exploded near our solar system. view more (2009-08-12)
Another world first for Artemis: a laser link with an aircraft
Artemis, the European Space Agency Advanced Relay and Technology Mission Satellite, successfully relayed optical laser links from an aircraft in early December. These airborne laser links, established over a distance of 40 000 km during two flights at altitudes of 6000 and 10 000 metres, represent a world first. view more (2006-12-19)
Quicker, faster, better calibration and machine calibration in the workplace from NPL
The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is launching a revolutionary new measurement system that will bring laboratory level standards to the shop floor. The technology enables significantly improved calibration times and thereby, minimises machine downtime for industries across the manufacturing sector. view more (2008-04-15)
