The formation and evolution of laser-induced periodic surface structures in fused silica under irradiation of widely tunable (in the 1-3 [Formula: see text]m range) linearly polarized femtosecond (200 fs) pulses was studied experimentally. The structures were inscribed in high fluence regime (exceeding the surface ablation threshold for a single pulse) and characterized by using scanning electron microscopy and two dimensional Fourier transform. The results revealed rapid (after irradiation with a few successive pulses) formation of periodic laser-induced periodic surface structures aligned parallel to laser polarization, whose period increases with increasing the inscription wavelength, obeying the [Formula: see text] law. With further increase of number of pulses, the generated structures gradually reorganize into laser polarization-independent low spatial frequency annular structures associated with formation of the damage crater, which fully established after irradiation with a few tens of successive laser pulses. This particular evolution scenario was observed over the entire wavelength tuning range of incident pulses.

The effect of pipette- and laser-induced blastocyst collapse before vitrification on their re-expansion and clinical outcome after warming.

Research Question: What are the effects of pipette- versus laser-assisted artificial blastocyst collapse (ABC) on the morphokinetics of warmed blastocyst re-expansion, and what is the potential effect on treatment outcomes?
Design: Surplus blastocysts were extracted from 203 patients. These were divided into three groups: study group A, artificial collapsed by the aspiration of blastocoel fluid with a pipette; study group B, trophectoderm opened with a laser pulse; control group, no manipulation before vitrification was performed. During the 5-year study period, 257 associated single-warm blastocyst transfers were scheduled.
Tracing the Formation of Femtosecond Laser-Induced Periodic Surface Structures (LIPSS) by Implanted Markers.

The generation of laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) using femtosecond lasers facilitates the engineering of material surfaces with tailored functional properties. Numerous aspects of their complex formation process are still under debate, despite intensive theoretical and experimental research in recent decades. This particularly concerns the challenge of verifying approaches based on electromagnetic effects or hydrodynamic processes by experiment.

This work presents a unique and straightforward method to synthesise hafnium oxide (HfO) and hafnium carbide (HfC) nanoparticles (NPs) and to fabricate hafnium nanostructures (NSs) on a Hf surface. Ultrafast picosecond laser ablation of the Hf metal target was performed in three different liquid media, namely, deionised water (DW), toluene, and anisole, to fabricate HfO and HfC NPs along with Hf NSs. Spherical HfO NPs and nanofibres were formed when Hf was ablated in DW.

Background: Ceramic endosseous implant coatings have gained esteem due to their favorable osteoinductive and osteoconductive properties. However, such a layer may be prone to failure under in vivo conditions, which necessitates its modification.
Objectives: The aim of the present study was to modify an electrodeposited hydroxyapatite (HA) coating on titanium (Ti) with ultrashort-pulsed lasers for the incorporation of the ceramic into the sample surface and the texturing of the metal surface.

Article Synopsis
- This study examines how laser surface modifications can improve wear resistance, hardness, and friction in both dry and lubricated conditions.
- The research uses nanosecond pulsed laser treatment to create different surface structures on steel, aiming to increase wear resistance and decrease the coefficient of friction (COF).
- Findings suggest that laser texturing enhances hardness, modifies surface wettability, reduces COF, and promotes better lubrication retention, making it a beneficial technique for industries needing durable materials.
