330 million US dollars! This laser ophthalmic treatment developer has been acquired

Most traditional quantum computing uses the spin of supercooled atoms or individual electrons as quantum bits, which form the foundation of such devices. By comparison, if light is used to replace physical entities as basic quantum bits, ordinary lenses and optical detectors can replace expensive devices to control the data input and output of quantum bits.Based on this, chemistry professors Moung...

Refractory material can withstand high temperature above 1500℃. They are essential materials for industrial furnaces that produce glass or ceramics, non-ferrous metals and steel. The service life of manufactured refractory products can range from a few days to many years, depending on the material, the temperature in the melting vessel and other operating parameters. As a result, although ...

Cambridge Vacuum Engineering (CVE), a precision welding equipment company in the UK, and Cranfield University recently announced that they have successfully reached a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP), which will provide global engineers with more welding options.In this cooperation, both parties jointly solved the optical pollution problem in vacuum laser welding, paving the way for the compre...

Researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara have made significant breakthroughs in laser technology, introducing a groundbreaking quantum dot mode-locked laser that allows for independent generation of amplitude and frequency modulation combs from a single device. This cutting-edge dual mode laser paves the way for the creation of small-sized and energy-efficient frequency combs for...
