Laser diodes are enjoying ever greater popularity in sensor engineering and measurement technology thanks to their high optical output power. One of the advantages of this is that a wide optical range ...

Laser cutters are in a fun place right now. Gone are the days when the cheapest machines were tens of thousands of dollars, and when the “compact” models were roughly the size of a freezer. They’ve ...

I’ll level with you, until I was commissioned to cover these now central components of the construction industry, I’d never actually used a laser level before. Spirit levels, countless times in the ...

A Smart Tuning Key provides one-touch setup by matching the sensor to the surface property: metals, substrates, elastomers, and transparent materials. The ZX2 continually monitors the received light ...

This circuit was designed to meet a medical application’s requirement to drive a laser diode with reasonable precision and a minimum of components and footprint (the device is now in clinical trials).

Tailoring light is much like tailoring cloth, cutting and snipping to turn a bland fabric into one with some desired pattern. In the case of light, the tailoring is usually done in the spatial degrees ...

New research revealed a worrying weakness of self-driving vehicles, as a basic laser toy can make such a car completely blind. The study was conducted by researchers at the University of Michigan, the ...

Judging by the tips we get, it seems like the popularity of word clocks has perhaps started falling off lately. But back at peak word clock, we were seeing dozens of designs, some better than others.

Treating patients with Facial K Carcinoma by non-ablative fractional laser ‘cuts repeat incidence by 50%’. Simple laser treatments to the skin may cut the development of certain carcinomas. New ...

In a study of patients with a history of facial keratinocyte carcinoma, 20.9% of those treated with nonablative fractional lasers experienced a subsequent keratinocyte carcinoma, compared with 40.4% ...
