The Air Force Has a Healing Nanotech Laser

I expected something really different from the title. Like a laser that literally made peoples health go up but then I realised you dont have health in real life. Stupid sleepyness
OT: That is really cool. Id love to see it become common use. "ARRGH PAPER CUT" then going and breaking out the laser instead of a primitive band aid.
Does anyone know if this thing stops scarring or not?

I'm going to be honest; the words "healing laser" and "Air Force" made me think of Medivacs from Starcraft 2.
On-topic: I'm absolutely astounded that this type of technology is actually becoming a reality. I used to think that some things would always be purely fantasy. But now scientific advances are starting to produce technology similar to those dreamed up in crazy science fiction stories. It really makes me wonder just what we can actually accomplish. Human technology isn;t nearly as limited as I used to think it was years ago.

Seriously? You don't think that a major medical advancement that benefits both military and civilian health care isn't something worth investing in? This isn't even providing soldiers with advanced weapons like you said in your post. It's creating a more efficient method to keep soldiers alive. This would also greatly benefit civilians as well, so the results of this research won't be limited to the military. I just don't see what your problem is with this.Hardcore_gamer said:
Nanotechnology, not nanomachines. Referring to the process of encouraging tissue to grow and knit together on a cellular level. Nanotech, as somebody already mentioned, is just a fancy way of saying "making really small things happen".Erana said:
I understand that this anecdote was actually a joke, and more or less entirely fictional? I'm told that pencils are inadvisable to use in zero-gravity environments - tendencies to break, and send tiny little pieces of graphite floating around to get in people's eyes and suchlike.Hardcore_gamer said:
Have you ever heard of asbestos? Asbestos as its removed the stuff breaks apart gets breathed in and it causes cancer. You know small stuff. LOLdanpascooch said:

You see this is where i post one of those let me google that for you because thats all you had to do. Nanotechnology cancer close to 2millions results. Please don't open your mouth unless you know what your talking about. I've heard about the possible problems with this technology, I'm training to be a biomechanical engineer, and this interests me. Next time don't be so smug unless you know what your talking about. LOL!!!!
It's only a matter of time until the next piece of medical weaponr...er, equipment is finished: The Syringe Gun! Capable of administering morphine and other intravenous medicines within seconds on the battlefield! Although if you're outfitted with both, just use your healing laser. Seriously, nobody likes it when the medic goes on the offensive.
