Progress in laser-driven high-pressure methodology and applications

Progress and Perspective of Antifouling, Pressure Driven, Flat-Sheet Nanocomposite, Polymeric Membranes in Water Treatment

Membrane filtration, especially based on the size exclusion phenomenon, has long been established due to its abilities to addressing the growing demands of the clean water of the world’s population. However, widespread applications of the membranes face several challenges including chemical vulnerability, thermal deterioration, and biological degradation of the membranes that transpire while re...

Recent Progress on Laser Driven Accelerators and Applications

Directed laser beams provide a very useful way of concentrating energy efficiently. Using them for acceleration of particles however is challenging. An electron in an intense laser beam will behave much like a cork on water as a huge wave passes by-bobbing up and down on the wave but not really going anywhere. In 1979, Tajima and Dawson [1] solved the problem of how to transfer the laser beam e...

Laser safety importance in clinical laser applications

Introduction: By introducing of laser systems and their continuous development, a new chapter of laser systems applications in a variety fields including research and clinical science in addition to the therapeutic, diagnostic applications were available for medical professionals in various fields. Most lasers emit radiation with intrinsic probable risks where in laser-tissue i...

Towards Laser Driven Hadron Cancer Radiotherapy: A Review of Progress

It has been known for about sixty years that proton and heavy ion therapy is a very powerful radiation procedure for treating tumors. It has an innate ability to irradiate tumors with greater doses and spatial selectivity compared with electron and photon therapy and, hence, is a tissue sparing procedure. For more than twenty years, powerful lasers have generated high energy beams of protons an...
