Advancing Astronomy: Using Laser Guided Star Adaptive Optics to Obtain clearer celestial views

In what has been described as the "first communication", Swedish researchers conducted 3D printed quartz glass micro optical devices on the tip of optical fibers. They said that this progress could lead to faster Internet and better connectivity, as well as innovations such as smaller sensors and imaging systems.Scientists from the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm have stated that co...

The Mitsubishi GX-F Advanced series of artificial intelligence enabled fiber lasers now use patented gas and burr reduction technology to help improve cutting quality while reducing gas consumption when cutting low-carbon steel.Mitsubishi Laser's proprietary Agr Mix nozzle technology does not require an external mixing tank or high-pressure oxygen. The combination of low-pressure air and nitrogen ...
