US Patent Issued to Krishnan Venkatakrishnan on March 31 for "Ultrashort laser synthesis of nanoparticles of isotopes" (Canadian Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 31 -- United States Patent no. 12,589,373, issued on March 31, was assigned to Krishnan Venkatakrishnan (Toronto).

"Ultrashort laser synthesis of nanoparticles of isotopes" was invented by Krishnan Venkatakrishnan (Toronto) and Bo Tan (Toronto).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Methods of synthesizing nanoparticles of an isotope using a laser beam are described herein. The methods include generating the laser beam, directing the laser beam to the target to convert the target into a plasma state, and bombarding the target in the plasma state with the laser beam to maintain the target in the plasma state and synthesize the nanoparticles of the isotope. During bombarding the t...
