Dr. Flavio Fontana

According to an ancient Roman saying, single drops of water can penetrate rocks. Inspired by this wisdom, a group of Swiss researchers at the Polytechnic Institute of Lausanne has discovered that a clever combination of hydrodynamics and laser engineering could lead to unprecedented results in the field of materials processing. In the microjet system from the Polytechnic Institute of Lausanne, a water jet guides a laser beam to cut metal. Protecting lenses Materials processing scientists know that the limited depth of field of even the most elaborate laser-focusing lenses can be a...Read full article
