Lasers
Lasers produce powerful, focused light that does not spread out with distance, which makes them very useful in manufacturing,
communication, and medical technologies. In surgical procedures, laser scalpels are sometimes used instead of traditional scalpels or
knives. Because lasers can cut tissue without physically touching it, they do not transmit infection. Laser scalpels also cause less scarring.
