Laser ablation is one of the best alternatives to invasive procedures like craniotomies (temporarily removing a piece of the skull to access the brain during surgery). Laser ablation is extremely ...

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 ...

Yuma Test Center (YTC) at U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground (YPG) is continually looking for methods to advance its capabilities, efficiency, productivity and sustainability. YTC’s latest investment in ...

Endovenous ablation is a nonsurgical procedure that uses radiofrequency waves or a laser to seal varicose veins. The method is minimally invasive and typically has a shorter recovery time and lower ...

Parylene is a conformal coating widely used in the medical device and microelectronics industries. It has many highly desirable characteristics: chemical resistance, biocompatibility, thermal ...

An elemental examination of an item discovered during an inquiry might provide important information about its origin and history. However, since the item itself may need to be produced as evidence, ...

Nanoparticles exhibit distinct physical and chemical properties compared to bulk materials, making them valuable in applications such as electronics, photovoltaics, catalysis, and biomedical sciences.

Ultra-uniform nanogratings of sub-50-nm periods and near-10-nm groove widths on HOPG can be stably and efficiently fabricated by high-NA focused femtosecond laser irradiation under water immersion.

Symptomatic but benign thyroid nodules treated with a single session of ultrasound-guided thermal ablation show reductions in volume that are sustained over the course of 5 years, with radiofrequency ...
