Leon Goldman first pioneered laser surgery by using lasers to treat cutaneous melanoma, in 1961, in his dermatologic practice. In 1966 he again became the first to use lasers for tumor removal. He went on to become a founder of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery (ASLMS) in 1979.

Exploring chemical mixing methods, this study compares laminar and turbulent flow techniques and their impact on reaction yields in chemistry.
Lasers use beams of highly focused or collimated light which are now used in several surgical applications to cut and coagulate various types of tissues. This article presents a very brief overview of how they achieve this goal.

Recently, attention has been focusing on the development of smart materials, that is, materials which can change their mechanical properties such as stiffness, shape memory, actuation and self-healing, in response to several types of stimuli such as temperature or certain chemicals. These responsive materials can be used for a wide range of applications.
