Breaking the physical and biological limits with laser-induced nanobubbles and photoacoustic cytophone

Breaking the physical and biological limits with laser-induced nanobubbles and photoacoustic cytophone

Vladimir Zharov, PhD, DSc, Chief Scientific Officer, CytoAstra Inc presents his vision for how to overcome the spectral, diffraction, and detection limits in spectroscopy, microscopy, and disease diagnosis using nonlinear photothermal and photoacoustic phenomena. Pioneers have always dreamed of breaking through nature’s limits, whether exploring the speed of light, the mystery of black holes, or the consciousness. For example, enormous efforts have gone into developing the Large Hadron Collider to uncover the essence of the universe through particle interactions. The invention of the laser has revolutionized light-matter interaction, which is frequently accompanied by bubble formation. The bubbles appear in our lives constantly, from soap bubbles, boiling bubble tea, champagne bubbles, rain bubbles in puddles, or propeller cavitation.
