Exail acquires laser company Leukos

Additive manufacturing (AM) has made it possible to manufacture complex personalized items with minimal material waste, leading to significant changes in the manufacturing industry. However, optimizing and improving additive manufacturing processes remains challenging due to the complexity of design, material selection, and process parameters. This review explores the integration of artificial int...

Janus film is widely used in fields such as oil-water separation, water mist collection, and wearable patches due to its unique transmembrane directional water transport function. The function of traditional Janus thin films comes from the thickness direction of microchannels and single-sided chemical coating modifications (single-sided hydrophilic and hydrophobic modification of hydrophobic and h...

On September 19th, Hongshan Laser made a stunning appearance at the Shanghai Industrial Expo with multiple flagship products. Among them, the "4+1" fully free heavy-duty groove laser pipe cutting machine TL730S, the 6G fully direct drive laser cutting machine G4020V, and the flagship drilling and attacking integrated laser composite pipe cutting machine TP65SD, represented by three new products, v...

The beam emitted by almost all laser systems follows the Angle pattern of Gaussian distribution. The Gaussian irradiance distribution means that irradiance has a smooth peak at the center point and slowly declines toward the edge. In theory, the irradiance level of a Gaussian distribution can never reach zero, which means that the distribution can expand indefinitely. This phenomenon in the laser ...

According to the Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI), the L4 ATON kilojoule laser at the ELI beamline facility in Dolní Břežany near Prague, Czech Republic, has achieved peak powers exceeding 5 petawatts (10¹⁵ W).The research institute stated: “This confirms that L4 can operate safely and reliably at this energy level, which is crucial for scaling up power and preparing for scientific experiments.”...
