Laser-assisted bioprinting is a versatile, non-contact, nozzle-free printing technique which has demonstrated high potential for cell printing with high resolution. Improving cell viability requires determining printing conditions which minimize shear stress for cells within the jet and cell impact at droplet landing. In this context, this study deals with laser-induced jet dynamics to determine conditions from which jets arise with minimum kinetic energies. The transition from a sub-threshold regime to jetting regime has been associated with a geometrical parameter (vertex angle) which can be harnessed to print mesenchymal stem cells with high viability using slow jet conditions. Finally, hydrodynamic jet stability is also studied for higher laser pulse energies which give rise to supersonic but turbulent jets.

The current paper delves into the jet dynamics arising from a cavitation bubble in proximity to a dual-particle system, employing both experimental methodology and numerical simulation. The morphological development of a laser-induced bubble as well as the production of jets are captured by utilizing high-speed photography. The principles of bubble morphology evolution and jet formation are revealed by a OpenFOAM solver, which takes into account the effects of two-phase fluid compressibility, phase changes, heat transfer, and surface tension.

Abnormal growth of blood vessels (choroidal neovascularization) can lead to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and eventually cause vision loss due to detachment of the retinal pigmented epithelium. This indicates that choroidal neovascularization is important for the treatment of AMD. The circadian clock in the mammalian retina is responsible for controlling various functions of the retina, enabling it to adjust to changes in light and darkness.

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.

The article presents a comprehensive laser spectroscopic characterization of a nitrogen-rich indole derivative, namely, 2,6-diazaindole (26DAI), in the gas phase. A supersonic jet-cooled molecular beam of 26DAI was characterized using two-color resonant two-photon ionization (2C-R2PI) and laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy (LIF) to investigate the electronic excitation. The S ← S origin transition was obtained at 33915 cm, which was red-shifted from that of one (indole) and two (7-azaindole) nitrogen-containing indole derivatives by 1317 and 713 cm, respectively.

The hydrogen-bonded docking preferences of small solvent molecules on 2-(2'-pyridyl)-benzimidazole (PBI) were studied experimentally aided by computational findings. The PBI-S complexes (S = HO, CHOH, and NH) were produced in a supersonically jet-cooled molecular beam and probed using resonant two-photon ionization and laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy, with multiple isomers confirmed by UV-UV hole-burning spectroscopy. Two distinct isomers of PBI-HO and PBI-(HO) complexes were identified, while PBI-CHOH and PBI-NH each formed a single 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 complex.
