Researchers at Aalto University, Finland, have developed a plasmonic nanolaser, the first of its kind. The laser operates at visible light frequencies and uses dark lattice modes. 

Tiny, Biocompatible Nanolaser Could Function Inside Living Tissues

Researchers have developed a tiny nanolaser that can function inside of living tissues without harming them. 

Just 50 to 150 nanometers thick, the laser is about 1/1,000th the thickness of a single human hair. At this size, the laser can fit and function inside living tissues, with the potential to sense disease biomarkers or perhaps treat deep-brain neurological disorders, such as epilepsy.
