In a paper published in Light: Science & Applications today (February 4, 2020), the lab of Chunlei Guo, professor of optics also affiliated with Physics and the Material Sciences Program, describes using powerful femto-second laser pulses to etch metal surfaces with nanoscale structures that selectively absorb light only at the solar ...
Magnetic vortices are nanoscale whirls that gyrate like spinning tops, tracing out paths in a clockwise or counter-clockwise manner in nanometer-thick materials. Under certain conditions, this sense of gyration can flip repeatedly, resulting in complex patterns of behavior. Now, a team of physicists in France, led by Joo-Von Kim, CNRS ...
The introduction of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) and soft lithography in the 90’s has revolutionized the field of microfluidics by almost eliminating the need for a clean-room environment for device fabrication. More recently, 3D printing has been introduced to fabricate molds for soft lithography, the only step for which a clean-room ...
There are new demands for alloy electrodeposition technologies. The role of FeNi coatings in the production of new nanodevices (MEMS, NEMS, FSMA, ULSI) is significant. It is also parallel to the development of nanotechnology. Thanks to their magnetic permeability and a small coercive force, FeNi constitutes magnetic components of products ...
As a leader in 3D printing and microfabrication, Germany’s Nanoscribe continues to make strides not only in producing new systems and processes, but also in providing the technology and impetus for research and medical scientists to develop innovative devices like the 3D-microscaffold cochlear implant for steroid elution. Accompanied by a ...
