Scientists from Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, west Poland, have built the world's first electric-powered polymer laser which may revolutionise medicine and electronics.
The Poznan-based researchers have conducted studies on a polymer laser for over 10 years, while other R&D facilities across the world have also been trying to develop a similar device.
The polymer laser is a cheaper solution compared to currently used lasers, easier to produce and could have a wider range of applications in industry and medicine, according to Adam Mickiewicz University's Professor Jerzy Langer.
The laser is now at a laboratory device stage and requires further work to make it easier to handle and more stable, according to Professor Langer.
The Polish invention has been reported in the Journal of Materials Chemistry C, published by Great Britain's Royal Society of Chemistry, according to the Adam Mickiewicz University's press service. (PAP)
