Is buying a laser cutting machine viable for your business? Many organisations compare the cost of sub-contracting laser cutting to buying their own machine. However, here are some of the areas to consider: 1. Typically the high capital investment in a laser cutting machine means that the laser has to be run 24/7 to repay […]

Frequency combs generate spectra with discreet and equally spaced lines—akin to a comb’s teeth. “In short, frequency combs can be viewed as rulers of frequency,” says Qing Hu, a professor of electrical engineering and computer science at MIT, who led the group’s work. Until now, designing frequency combs with the bandwidth required for mass-producible remote
