  • Laser-scanning super robot vacuum!

    Updated: 2010-05-16 09:08:45
    How did we miss this laser-scanning super robot vacuum? Not sure how we missed this robotic vacuum but this bugger uses lasers to scan your room and grab dust and lint as it goes. It’s quite cute how this little fellow does everything the Roomba does but, seemingly, it does it better. (more…)

  • How ‘Random’ Lasers Work

    Updated: 2010-05-16 09:08:44
    How ‘Random’ Lasers Work: Natural Cavities Act Like Mirrors in Light-Emitting Plastics. When University of Utah scientists discovered a new kind of laser that was generated by an electrically conducting plastic or polymer, no one could explain how it worked and some doubted it was real. Now, a decade later, the Utah researchers have found these “random [...]

  • Building the Most Powerful Laser in the World

    Updated: 2010-05-16 09:08:43
    Producing a laser with a power of a terawatt — equal to one trillion watts — used to be impressive, but now the forefront of optical research power is measured in 1 quadrillion-watt units known as petawatts. But even that much power isn’t good enough for physics professor Todd Ditmire at the University of Texas [...]

  • Scottish firm’s laser gun to foil Somali pirates

    Updated: 2010-05-16 09:08:42
    A LASER that dazzles and disorientates has been developed by a Scottish firm to help shipowners ward off pirate attacks. The first device has been fitted to a commercial vessel due to sail within weeks through the Gulf of Aden, off the pirate stronghold of Somalia. Dunoon-based ProForm Marine believes the non-lethal laser will prompt pirates to [...]

  • Liposuction That Melts Fat and Tightens Skin?

    Updated: 2010-05-16 09:08:41
    Liposuction has entered a new era. There’s now a procedure that melts fat and tightens skin — all in the same operation. Liposuction technology has come a long way over the past several decades, with the advent of everything from ultrasound-assisted liposuction to power-assisted, tumescent, body-jet and even microcannula liposuction. Now, another new technique called SmartLipo™ [...]
