Innovative surgery corrects vision in kids with neurological disorders
Children with cerebral palsy and other neurological problems often have extremely poor eyesight. view more (2006-10-11)
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)
World`s most powerful laser used as atom smasher - The Physics Congress 2002
Physicists at Glasgow University are using the world`s most powerful laser beam as an atom smasher to simulate conditions inside the Sun and to produce radioisotopes vital in medicine. Professor Ken Ledingham from the Department of Physics at Glasgow and his colleagues from Imperial College and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) are using... view more... (2002-03-26)
Laser Blasts Viruses in Blood
A father-son research team working from separate laboratory benches across the country has discovered a new use for lasers - zapping viruses out of blood. The technique, which holds promise for disinfecting blood for transfusions, uses a low-power laser beam with a pulse lasting just fractions of a second. view more (2007-09-05)
Exploding Bubbles Detected by Laser Light
A revolutionary way of detecting the potentially dangerous gas bubbles in bore-holes that can lead to large explosions, is reported today in the Institute of Physics journal, Measurement Science and Technology. The new technique, developed by researchers at the University of Reading, could save the oil exploration industry millions of pounds by... view more... (2000-05-30)
Some patients stop needing antidepressant medication after having plastic surgery
It has been proven that plastic surgery can improve self-esteem, but can it also act as a natural mood enhancer? A significant number of patients stopped taking antidepressant medication after undergoing plastic surgery, according to a study presented today at the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) Plastic Surgery 2006 conference in San... view more...

The little beam that could
Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory, in collaboration with researchers from the University of Nevada, Reno, Ludwig-Maximilian-University in Germany, and the Max-Planck-Institute for Quantum Optics in Germany, have developed a new method for using a laser beam to accelerate ions. view more (2006-02-01)
Keyhole Surgery For Colorectal Cancer Offers Same Prognosis As Conventional Surgery (p 1187)
Laparoscopy ('keyhole surgery') for colorectal cancer could be the future treatment of choice after results of a study from Hong Kong in this week's issue of THE LANCET show how it is associated with a similar 5-year survival outcome and more favourable recovery time than conventional surgery. Colorectal cancer is one of the commonest forms of... view more... (2004-04-07)
UCSB researchers develop drug delivery system using nanoparticles and lasers
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have developed a new way to deliver drugs into cancer cells by exposing them briefly to a non-harmful laser. view more (2009-09-10)
Slight Fluorescence Gives Hope For Recovery
Stomach ulcer not only aches, it also fluoresce. Russian researchers believe that the brighter the fluorescence is, the less chances the patient has to do without the operation. view more (2005-02-22)
Paint-on laser could rescue computer chip industry
Researchers at the University of Toronto have created a laser that could help save the $200-billion dollar computer chip industry from a looming crisis dubbed the "interconnect bottleneck." view more (2006-04-18)
Structuring polymers by laser
Microstructured polymer components are often used to direct light in optical devices. As an alternative to mechanical processes, laser light can also be used to produce the microscopic relief structures, and even to remove them without contact. With a flash of blue-green light, the show begins. Like a line of silent ballet dancers, long-chain... view more... (2004-05-14)
The search for new applications for laser light beams
Light can blind or distort colours, or confuse one with chiaroscuros. But it can have greater usefulness if its properties, characteristics, how it is created, etcetera are better understood. view more (2006-05-30)
Laser blasts will reveal structures and dynamics of molecules in the fastest events in nature
A new £2 million Research Centre at the University of York will provide unprecedented information on how molecules change, helping scientists understand the structure and dynamics of liquids, proteins and even our DNA. The York Centre for Laser Spectroscopy and Photochemistry opened today (29 October 2003), will use ultra-short laser light... view more... (2003-10-27)
Laser cancer treatment and Martian imaging
Can laser light be used to treat cancer patients? Why is the search for Martian water so important? These questions may appear to be unconnected, but they actually have more in common than you might think. Both subjects will be tackled at free public talks held at Cardiff International Arena on Tuesday 3 and Wednesday 4 September. The talks show... view more... (2002-08-21)
New nanotube coating enables novel laser power meter
The U.S. military can now calibrate high-power laser systems, such as those intended to defuse unexploded mines, more quickly and easily thanks to a novel nanotube-coated power measurement device developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). view more (2009-05-11)
A sonic boom in the world of lasers
It was an idea born out of curiosity in the physics lab, but now a new type of 'laser' for generating ultra-high frequency sound waves instead of light has taken a major step towards becoming a unique and highly useful 21st century technology. view more (2009-06-18)
Fine-tuning lasers to destroy blood-borne diseases like AIDS
Physicists in Arizona State University have designed a revolutionary laser technique which can destroy viruses and bacteria such as AIDS without damaging human cells and may also help reduce the spread of hospital infections such as MRSA. view more (2007-11-01)
Dangerous printer particles identified
The identity and origin of tiny, potentially hazardous particles emitted from common laser printers have been revealed by a new study at Queensland University of Technology. view more (2009-02-11)
Ultrafast lasers take 'snapshots' as atoms collide
Using laser pulses that last just 70 femtoseconds (quadrillionths of a second), physicists have observed in greater detail than ever before what happens when atoms collide. view more (2005-10-21)
