As Science Advances Lasers, So Lasers Advance Research Dec 6, 2020 — Lasers have been used to conduct academic research nearly since their invention in 1960, and these sources of coherent light quickly found diverse, if not precisely directed, applications. “Some of the earliest research was simply zapping anything within reach of a laser to see what happened,” laser historian Jeff Hecht said. “One result was the development of industrial applications, and the same approach was used in medical research.” Of course, early lasers were not only expensive to build,...
