Article: SMART LASERS PROMISE CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY, JOBS

Michigan State University issued the following press release:

Lasers capable of everything from monitoring diseases to enhancing metabolic studies of drug interactions are the future of modern medicine and promise to draw high-tech jobs to Michigan.

Michigan State University chemistry professor Marcos Dantus and colleagues Daniel Jones and Gavin Reid have developed lasers with rapid, ultra-short pulses that allow researchers to manipulate molecules in fractions of a second, shorter than the time it takes the atoms to move.

"This kind of science that I'm working on - we call it smart laser technology - is using properties of lasers that have not been exploited before," Dantus said. "It's ...
