Needle-Free Targeted Injections Using Bubble Laser Technology in Therapeutics.

This work explores bubble laser technology as an alternative to needles in injection systems for vaccination, cancer treatment, insulin delivery, and catheter hygiene. The technology leverages laser-induced microfiltration and bubble dynamics to create high-speed pneumatic jets that penetrate the skin without needles, addressing discomfort, infection risk, and needle-related concerns. The system's performance is analyzed based on laser wavelength, pulse duration, and Gaussian beam droplet size.

Photonics-powered augmented reality skin electronics for proactive healthcare: multifaceted opportunities.

Rapid technological advancements have created opportunities for new solutions in various industries, including healthcare. One exciting new direction in this field of innovation is the combination of skin-based technologies and augmented reality (AR). These dermatological devices allow for the continuous and non-invasive measurement of vital signs and biomarkers, enabling the real-time diagnosis of anomalies, which have applications in telemedicine, oncology, dermatology, and early diagnostics.

Variation in efficiency with change in band gap and thickness in thin film amorphous silicon tandem heterojunction solar cells with AFORS-HET.

Numerical simulation of both single and double absorbing layers in amorphous silicon thin film solar cell is performed with the use of AFORS-HET. A single absorbing layer solar cell with both a-SiH and a-SiGeH is designed and compared with a tandem heterojunction solar cell, a-SiC/a-SiH/a-Si(i)/a-SiGeH. Design parameters are investigated, compared and optimized.
