WASHINGTON -- Researchers have developed a new laser-based method that can detect electric charges and chemicals of interest with unprecedented sensitivity. The new approach could one day offer a way ...

Researchers at the University of Basel and the ETH in Zurich have succeeded in changing the polarity of a special ferromagnet using a laser beam. In the future, this method could be used to create ...

WASHINGTON -- A variety of laser-based techniques can be used to produce colorful artwork on metals. However, each approach typically requires a different type of laser and very specific settings. In ...

Ultra-high temperature ceramics are materials capable of withstanding temperatures exceeding 2,000 degrees Celsius (3,632 degrees Fahrenheit). Because they can endure such high temperatures, these ...

Laser treatment every few years and always being able to see clearly without glasses sounds like a dream. Researchers and industry partners are developing the method for turning this into reality.

Experiments were conducted to establish a laser diffraction-based method for the determination of lactose powder particle size. This was accomplished using a Bettersizer 2600 equipped with a fully ...

(Nanowerk News) A bullet piercing the protective armor of a first responder, a jellyfish stinging a swimmer, micrometeorites striking a satellite: High-speed projectiles that puncture materials show ...

Simple technique developed at Italian Institute of Technology, Genoa, is "poised to expand microlens applications", say developers. Practical implementation and operational principle of laser ...

Researchers describe a new high-speed laser writing method for writing data that encompasses two optical dimensions plus three spatial dimensions. The new approach can write at speeds of 1,000,000 ...
