: A laser pulse "ablates" (removes a tiny bit of) the sample surface, creating a high-temperature plasma.

: Because it can be used as a "stand-off" (remote) technique, it is ideal for analyzing nuclear reactors, space environments (like on Mars rovers), and military robotics. Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy: Fundament...

This text refers to , a powerful chemical analysis technique often called a "superstar" in green analytical chemistry. It is used to determine the elemental composition of materials by using a high-focused laser to create a tiny plume of plasma. Core Fundamentals : A laser pulse "ablates" (removes a tiny
