This optical micrograph shows an array of microscopic metamaterial samples on a reflective substrate. Laser pulses have been digitally added, depicting pump (red) and probe (green) pulses diagnosing a ...

The reaction kinetics of energetic materials is a key factor in determining the detonation characteristics and safety. The complexity of the reaction process and the lack of experimental means remain ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . MONTEREY, Calif. — MicroPulse transscleral laser therapy delivered with a functionally and ergonomically revised ...

The ultrashort pump laser pulse interacts with a 10 nm-thick diamond-like carbon foil (DLC). The interaction region is illuminated with a probe laser pulse with a large optical spectrum, whose various ...

Vocal fold (VF) scarring is a primary cause of voice disorders 1,2. As an undesirable consequence of surgical excision of VF lesions, VF scarring can result in severe dysphonia and negatively impact ...

A chip-sized structure made of silicon nanopillars floated off a surface inside a Cornell University lab, pushed upward by nothing but focused laser light. The tiny device, smaller than a grain of ...

With the help of computer simulations, engineers can play with any combination of microstructures to see how certain materials can transform, for instance, into sound-focusing acoustic lenses or ...

A new technique offers a safe, reliable, and high-throughput way to dynamically characterize microscale metamaterials. The method could speed up the development of acoustic lenses, impact-resistant ...
