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 ...

With a zap, a beam of ultraviolet light can blast carbon dioxide into oxygen gas, O 2. Because the sun hurls the same radiation, the reaction hints that breathable air could have formed on Earth ...

The ability to detect chemical and biological agents on the battlefield would go a long way toward reducing threats to soldiers. But the systems the Defense Department currently has — ultraviolet ...

Two recent advances in laser design, one from Germany and one from China, could reshape the future of industrial emissions ...
