Although lasers based on diamond have been around around for several years, they have never been very powerful. That's beginning to change now as new CVD fabrication methods provide larger, and purer, ...

While diamond lasers have been around for a number of years, they have not been powerful enough to cut through steel until now. Since the recent improvement of CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) ...

About six years ago, the Scientific and Technical Research Center for Diamonds , in Antwerp, Belgium, demonstrated a highly sophisticated robotic system that can automatically cut or polish diamonds ...

You know the intricate, elegant, classic pattern found on your grandma's doilies? Imagine that design as an item of clothing. That is laser-cut design. Laser cutting used to be reserved for haute ...

Silicon-based materials are currently the undisputed leaders in the field of semiconductors. Even so, scientists around the world are actively trying to find superior alternatives for next-generation ...

In this work, we demonstrate that ultraviolet (UV) laser photolysis of hydrocarbon species alters the flame chemistry such that it promotes the diamond growth rate and film quality. Optical emission ...
