With graphene as a component instead of traditional materials, scientists could develop a laser as small as a pencil that's immune to thermal damage typically caused by intense beams.
He has also made molds for NASA and is working with the U.S. Defense Department to make small parabolic antennae for reflecting laser beams.
And Karen has focused like a laser on helping small businesses not only survive but to thrive amidst the economic storm of the past two years.
WHITEHOUSE: Creating Jobs Through New Small Business Initiatives
Hatch is looking to start small, with customized engravings via laser cutters, and then move on to larger projects using more complex machines.
But despite the obstacles, a laser-like responsiveness of myriad small teams focused to the needs of individual voters was able to overcome everything.
For most small businesses though, a straight black and white laser printer is more than sufficient.
The Samsung CLP-365W Laser Color Printer is perfect for personal or small-business use with amazing color and wireless capabilities in a compact ergonomic design.

Some 7, 000 unmanned aerial vehicles, from small hand-launched devices to big robotic aircraft fitted with laser-guided bombs, are now deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
That means the beam produced is of higher quality than other lasers, is extremely straight (even by the exacting standards of a normal laser beam) and can thus be focused onto a small area.
This is handy for a small office which needs to share a specialist printer, such as a laser printer or a high-end color inkjet.
They use a multimillion-dollar machine known as the Meisterbock gauge that laser-scans the entire surface of the vehicle for defects as small as a few millimeters.
This means it's more interesting to watch than the regular FDM printing, as every few moments a laser "show" hits the pool of resin, and another small part of the product emerges.

Researchers at the University of Bristol, for instance, are focusing their experiments on photons, containing them in small optical fibers that are built onto integrated chips with the help of a laser trap or ion trap.
FORBES: Teeny-Tiny Quantum Computers Take A Step Closer To Reality
Bristling with sensors, antennas, a laser and a robotic arm, the Curiosity robot, about the size of a small SUV, is twice the length and four times the weight of any of the three prior rovers that explored Mars.
