making it possible to deliver twice as much<br />

power from a given area of panels.<br />

The trick is to first turn sunlight into heat and<br />

then convert it back into light, but now focused<br />

within the spectrum that solar cells can use.<br />

While various researchers have been working<br />

for years on so-called solar<br />

thermophotovoltaics, the MIT device is the<br />

first one to absorb more energy than its<br />

photovoltaic cell alone and could<br />

dramatically increase efficiency.<br />

technique, wounds were healed both internally<br />

and externally and temperature can be adjusted<br />

based on the requirement. The team then<br />

developed a pen-sized laser that used<br />

optic fibres. Of the fibres, one is used to<br />

detect the carbon dioxide-powered infrared<br />

lasers falling on the wound. The other fibre,<br />

which leads from the pen to the infrared<br />

sensor, ensures the temperature is<br />

maintained in the suitable range 60–70<br />

degree Celsius. The pen is easily used by<br />

moving the tip along the surface of the wound<br />

with the water-soluble protein solder. This<br />

laser pen can be used for migraines, burns,<br />

lower-back pain, and swelling, among other<br />

things. It can also be used to rejuvenate new<br />

cells and tissues.<br />

PORTABLE LASER PENS TO HEAL<br />

WOUNDS:<br />

Portable laser pens are used as an alternative to<br />

traditional needle-and-thread surgeries. Even in<br />

carefully performed microsurgeries, there is<br />

always the chance of infections or scars.<br />

To avoid that, the use of lasers to heal wounds<br />

has increased over the last decade. Initial<br />

day’s doctors used carbon dioxide lasers to<br />

close up wounds where they found<br />

difficulty in<br />

controlling temperature. By using laser welding<br />
