Jakarta - Physicist Harvard created a new laser technology. Light beam generated from a jellyfish.
Seok-Hyun Yun and colleagues, Malte Gather, optical physicist from Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston created a laser beam derived from living things.
"Laser technology originated from physics and then used to create engineered devices. This is the first time we use a laser to create living matter," said Seok-Hyun Yun.
To make a laser device which takes two reinforcing material is solidified with the aid of light, and optical means to optimize the light. Means of conventional laser optics are usually made of crystal, semiconductor, or gas. But Yun-made laser is made from human cells and the jellyfish protein.
The light created is narrower and weaker than conventional lasers. "But magnitudnya lighter. This comes from a fluorescent jellyfish. The light is green," said Yun.
In medicine, the laser beam is useful to diagnose and treat disease, as well as to dissect. Lasers are also useful for welding, drilling, or storage of optical memory in the computer industry. [mor]
