The evolution of wound closure methods has led to the exploration of new and improved techniques such as laser tissue soldering. This study aimed to compare the effects of 810, 940, and 980 nm diode lasers and suturing to identify the most effective wavelength for soldering skin incisions. Three sets of incisions were bound on the backs of 63 rats using diode lasers and sutures. A combination of bovine serum albumin (50%), indocyanine green, and sodium hyaluronate was used as a solder. Healing progress was assessed on the 1st, 4th, 7th, 14th, and 21st days after surgery through histological examination and measurements of tensile strength. Although immediate superficial closure was found for the laser-bonded incisions, on the 4th day, the entire thickness of the incision was closed only in the 810 nm laser group. Thermal damage was observed for all the laser-irradiated groups. For the sutured group, the incisions remained unclosed for the first day, and openings through the incision were observed. The incisions treated with a 980 nm laser had the highest amount of tensile strength. At the end of the 21-day recovery period, no significant differences between experimental groups were observed in terms of the histological and tensile strength values. All studied diode lasers can effectively repair incisions similar to a suture, but the 980 nm treated incisions will be significantly more resistant to mechanical tension. The 810 nm diode laser demonstrated the earliest wound closure, which could benefit areas requiring more aesthetic consideration.

Semiconductor devices often rely on high-purity materials and interfaces achieved through vapor- and vacuum-based fabrication methods, which can enable precise compositional control down to single atomic layers. Compared to groups IV and III-V semiconductors, hybrid perovskites (HPs) are an emergent class of semiconductor materials with remarkable solution processability and compositional variability that have facilitated rapid experimentation to achieve new properties and progress toward efficient devices, particularly for solar cells. Surprisingly, vapor deposition techniques for HPs are substantially less developed, despite the complementary benefits that have secured vapor methods as workhorse tools for semiconductor fabrication.

Wet etching is the mainstream fabrication method for single-bar quantum cascade lasers (QCLs). Different etching solutions result in varying etching effects on III-V semiconductor materials. In this study, an efficient and nearly ideal etching solution ratio was proposed for simultaneously etching both InP and GaInAs/AlInAs, and the surface chemical reactions induced by each component of the etching solution during the process were investigated.

In recent years, heterostructures composed of two-dimensional (2D) materials have demonstrated broad application prospects across various domains, primarily attributed to their exceptional electrical and optical properties. The superior performance of these heterostructures is rooted in the interlayer interactions and the diversity of the constituent materials. Notably, their applications have been greatly advanced in optical fields such as photodetectors, lasers, modulators, optical sensors, and nonlinear optics.

An exciton-polariton condensate is a state of matter with collective coherence leading to many fascinating macroscopic quantum effects. Recently, optical bound states in the continuum (BICs) have been demonstrated as peculiar topological states capable of imparting novel characteristics onto the polariton condensates. Organic semiconductors featuring robust Frenkel excitons and high physicochemical tunability potentially offer a promising platform to explore topologically engineering of BIC polariton condensates at room temperature.

Aim: This in vitro study investigated the effects of incorporating 1%, 3%, and 5% calcium oxalate into 15% hydrogen peroxide (HO), with and without laser activation, on the whitening of teeth discolored by mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA).
Methods: The pulp tissue of 80 bovine incisors was removed, and an MTA plug was placed at 2 mm below the cementoenamel junction. After nine months, the samples were randomly divided into eight groups (n = 10).
