First Liquid-Cooling Laser Could Advance Biological Research (washington.edu)
Zothecula writes: In a world where lasers are sci-fi's weapon of choice for melting away an enemy spaceship, researchers at the University of Washington have swum against the current and produced the first laser capable of cooling liquids. " They demonstrated that the laser could refrigerate saline solution and cell culture media that are commonly used in genetic and molecular research. To achieve the breakthrough, the UW team used a material commonly found in commercial lasers but essentially ran the laser phenomenon in reverse. They illuminated a single microscopic crystal suspended in water with infrared laser light to excite a unique kind of glow that has slightly more energy than that amount of light absorbed. This higher-energy glow carries heat away from both the crystal and the water surrounding it." The technology could be especially useful for slowing down single cells and allowing scientists to study biological processes as they happen.
Know what I think?
I think you should go back to 4chan/pol/, and furthermore spend more time at your other favorite passtime (sucking cocks and swallowing jizz) instead of showing us what a gigantic faggot you are by posting your pseudo-political reactionary drivel on internet discussion forums. Go back to your containment unit and stay there, or the straitjacket goes back on.
P.S.: Memo to your mommy: You need to keep Junior off the Internets, he's embarassing you. Oh and by the way jizzing in your ass last night was awesome as usual, don't spend the $20 all in one place.
