Rice University scientists find the ubiquitous, ''weak'' van der Waals force is sufficient to indent rigid nanosheets, hinting at applications in nanoscale optics or catalytic systems. Rice University scientists found that nature's ubiquitous "weak" force ...
While a flat grating can be made using a greyscale photolithographic microfabrication technique that only requires a one-time exposure, curved gratings require labour-intensive electron-beam processing, he explains. The researchers tested their new device ...
It can be used to measure the conformality of the thin film process, i.e. the ability to coat a 3D object evenly. "The PillarHall disposable test chip can be used to compare different 3D thin film processes and reactors. The method is exceptional ...
A research team led by professors from the Department of Physics and Astronomy have created a serpentine path for electrons, imbuing them with new properties that could be useful in future quantum devices.
