Facebook X LinkedIn Email
COLUMBIA, Mo., March 14, 2008 -- Femtosecond lasers have entered a "new era" of applications. The ultrafast, ultraintense laser, or UUL, with laser pulse durations of one quadrillionth of a second -- a femtosecond-- could change procedures for cancer treatments, dentistry, precision metal cutting and joint-implant surgery, said Robert Tzou, a professor and chairman of the department of mechanical and aerospace engineering at the University of Missouri (MU). Tzou said he hopes the laser will replace chemical therapy in cancer treatments. A femtosecond laser at the University of Missouri (MU) mechanical and aerospace...Read full article
