Despite their prevalent use in patient treatment, to many, using lasers as surgical tools can seem like something out of science fiction. However, laser-assisted surgery is now a reality and marks a ...

Measuring tiny magnetic fields, such as those generated by brain waves, enables many new novel opportunities for medical diagnostics and treatment. The research team led by Dr. Jan Jeske at Fraunhofer ...

Can a thermometer consist of a thin film or tiny (micrometer or even nanometer scale) particles, operate in real time and in very well-defined regions with a spatial resolution ranging from a ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois have pulled off a laser first: they built a new kind of eye-safe laser that works at room temperature, using a buried layer of glass-like material instead of ...

LSG is produced by laser irradiation of carbon precursors like graphene oxide or polyimide films. This direct writing approach enables rapid, localized graphene patterning without masks or chemicals.

Quantum computers get a lot of attention, even though they are not ready for prime time, but quantum sensors are already doing useful work. These sensors measure fields, forces and motion so small ...

Even though the world is focused on the next development in quantum computing, it ...
