New nanomaterial helps patients with kidney stones

Caption

New research from the lab of Asst. Prof. Po-Chun Hsu (right) at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, in collaboration with Duke University, has shown a pioneering way to improve lasers’ efficiency on kidney stones without changing the lasers. This work could result in shorter surgeries, faster recoveries, and less recurrence of disease.
