The laser is based on a phenomenon discovered during the past century, and laser technology became real and concrete at the beginning of the 1960s. In less than 50 years, it has become the basis for ...

Cylindrical holes were once the industry standard for air film cooling on turbine engine components. The cooling holes were traditionally formed using an electro-discharge machine (EDM) with a round ...

Laser ablation is a process that uses high-energy laser pulses to precisely remove or vaporize materials from a solid surface. When the laser beam focuses on the target material, it absorbs the laser ...

A Grenoble, France-based research team at CEA Leti and chip maker STMicroelectronics say that they have demonstrated the first hybrid III-V/silicon laser to be fabricated using a wafer manufacturing ...

Last year the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued a construction and operating license to General Electric-Hitachi Global Laser Enrichment LLC for its proposed uranium enrichment plant in North ...

In medicine, lasers allow surgeons to work at high levels of precision by focusing on a small area, damaging less of the surrounding tissue. If you have laser therapy, you may experience less pain, ...
