In addition, since a single electron travelling through the device emits light not once (as in most other lasers), but many times, quantum cascade lasers are powerful: Dr Capasso's group has recently shown that they beat conventional semiconductor lasers by a factor of 20.

The software includes an auto-recognition feature that identifies any device plugged into a laptop, from an electrocardiogram machine to an electron microscope, and translates the signals into a form that can be received by hospital computer systems at the other end.
