For accurate cup alignment without navigation in total hip arthroplasty (THA), we developed a “laser guide technique.” The major purposes of this paper are to introduce the technique and compare its ...

The new adaptive optics facility being built at the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile passed a key milestone in the past few weeks, achieving "first light" with one of its four new laser guide star ...

WASHINGTON, D. C. — A new sodium laser is giving 50 times more sky coverage to the atmospheric-correcting technology known as adaptive optics on the Keck II telescope at Mauna Kea, Hawaii. The laser ...

Ground-based telescopes have long contended with atmospheric turbulence that diminishes image clarity, and the advent of adaptive optics combined with laser guide stars has been transformative in ...

Lightning rods protect buildings by providing a low-resistance path for charges to flow between the clouds and the ground. But they only work if lightning finds that path first. The actual strike is ...

A group of scientists say they successfully steered bolts of lightning using laser technology during a storm in Switzerland, demonstrating a potential new method to protect infrastructure from ...

The European Southern Observatory (ESO), together with laser companies MPB Communications, Toptica Potonics and High Finesse, have announced that a novel 63W CW experimental guide star laser has ...

As summer comes to an end, dark spots, sun damage and emerging fine lines may be top of mind. Lasers are a high-tech, efficacious way to address these common skin concerns and many consumers are ...

Dear Buyer's Guide Update Member, This edition of the DrBicuspid Buyer's Guide Update examines two of the most cutting-edge technologies in dentistry today: CAD/CAM systems and lasers. CAD/CAM systems ...

A laser pointed at a stormy sky can divert the paths of potentially dangerous lightning strikes, a new study shows. Using a car-size prototype assembled atop a Swiss peak, an international group of ...
