- After 20 years, scientists finally shrink a powerful laser onto a chip
Researchers at EPFL have developed a chip-scale ultrafast laser that matches the performance of traditional tabletop femtosecond lasers. The innovation could enable smaller, cheaper, and more accessible laser technologies for applications like medical diagnostics and atomic clocks.
- An open-source stethoscope that costs between $2.5 and $5 to produce
An open-source stethoscope developed by GliaX can be produced for $2.5 to $5, aiming to provide affordable medical diagnostics in low-resource areas. The project's repository is available on GitHub, and it has received minimal engagement on Hacker News.
