Near-field intensity enhancement enables laser modification of materials with feature sizes below the classical diffraction limit. However, the need to maintain close distances between the objective element and the substrate typically limit demonstrations of this technology to flat surfaces, even though there are many cases where the ability to produce sub-micron features on rough or structured...

Abstract Recently, there has been substantial interest in the large-scale synthesis of hierarchically architectured transition metal dichalcogenides and designing electrodes for energy conversion storage applications such as electrocatalysis, rechargeable batteries, supercapacitors. Here we report a novel hybrid laser-assisted micro/nanopatterning sulfurization method rapid manufacturing molybd...

Recently, new femtosecond laser platforms have been developed to perform both corneal LASIK flaps and femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery. For this reason, we read with great interest the article by Juhasz et al.,1 which was the first study to evaluate the visual outcomes and flap thickness accuracy of the new LenSx multifunctional femtosecond laser system (Alcon Laboratories, Fort Wort...

Patch-clamp technique is the gold standard for cellular electrophysiological measurements, which capable of measuring single ion transport events across cell membrane. However, measurement possesses significant complexities, and it requires a high level expertise, while its experimental throughput nevertheless considerably low. Here, we suggest experimentally demonstrate laser-assisted method p...

BACKGROUND Liposuction is a type of aesthetic surgery that has been performed on humans for decades. There is not much literature addressing the subject matter of pre- and post-surgery blood parameters, although this information is rather interesting. Documentation on patients who received laser-assisted liposuction treatment is particularly scarce. Until now, there has been no literature showi...

Laser assisted spin forming is used to process a galvanized Dual Phase steel with minimum damage to coating, microstructure and material properties. Effective increase in formability was achieved, but no evidence of recrystalization, neither drop in forming force was detected. The paper discusses the possible mechanism of formability improvement through the analysis by EBDS of laser assisted fo...
