The femtosecond laser is a promising surface modification tool for zirconia. The influence of femtosecond laser parameters on the micro/nanostructures and mechanical properties of zirconia, however, is not yet clear. In this work, three-level micro/nanostructures, microgrooves, nanoparticle or striped periodic structures, and moss-like structures, were prepared on the surface of zirconia with a femtosecond laser. The flexural strength of zirconia bars with different surfaces was tested. The measured results of the control, microgrooves with 50 µm width, and microgrooves with 30 µm width were 1273.79±232.65, 1151.40±90.88, and 1232.04±143.19, respectively, with no significant differences.

Modern surgical strategies for keratoconus aim to both stabilize disease progression and correct induced refractive errors. Effectively and simultaneously achieving both goals remains a relevant challenge. This study presents a clinical case of femtosecond laser-assisted intrastromal keratoplasty with implantation of a biosynthetic complex, demonstrating the efficacy of this surgical approach in treating keratoconus.

We introduce a novel method using a kilohertz (kHz) amplified 800 nm laser for the first experimental confinement of microparticles within a single beam. This study demonstrates that high-energy kHz pulses can confine 1-μm-radius polystyrene beads in water within ∼26 μm. This approach utilizes the unique properties of high-energy pulsed lasers, distinct from continuous-wave and megahertz pulsed lasers traditionally used in optical trapping.

Femtosecond laser has become an important tool in cataract surgery due to its precision and minimally invasive nature. However, the strong scattering properties of the lens limit surgical efficiency, especially when it comes to effectively cutting highly opaque and hard cataracts with femtosecond laser. This study proposes a method for achieving optical transparency in opaque lenses through tartrazine treatment.

The concept of parity-time symmetry has firmly established non-Hermiticity as a versatile degree of freedom on a variety of physical platforms. In general, the non-Hermitian dynamics of open systems are perceived to be inextricably linked to complex-valued potentials facilitating the local attenuation and coherent amplification in wave mechanics. Along these lines, time reversal symmetry is associated with a complex conjugation of the potential landscape, in essence swapping gain and loss.

Solid-liquid triboelectric nanogenerators (SL-TENGs) have attracted attention for use in water resource collection. However, traditional methods limit improvements in the surface energy density of the friction layer because of insufficient precision. This study used femtosecond laser technology to create three-dimensional bionic structures on polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) films.
