Cleaning a curved pipe using an Ytterbium fibre laser. This video demonstrates that this technique we have developed for removing oxides from metal surfaces works on curved surfaces, and not just flat ones. This technique is being developed for a project looking at ways to reduce volumes of metallic radioactive waste:

A brief video overview of our research. We are excited about our research, and this video tries to convey that excitement!
