In this section, we present field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) images, atomic force microscopy (AFM) 2D and 3D topographical images that show protruding donut ring pattern formed by ...

Lasers are being used for modifying the surfaces of biomaterials to make them resistant to microbial adhesion. However, the effect of such surface modification on physical and mechanical properties ...

A project from TU Wien (Technical University of Vienna, Austria) has demonstrated how laser patterning can be used to create microvascular channels within microfluidic chips. The breakthrough, ...

Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) is a set of advanced methods for surface analysis. The recent advances in SPM of metals, polymers, insulating, and semiconductive materials are primarily due to the ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Crystalline materials with precisely engineered structures lie at the heart of virtually every advanced technology, from the silicon microchips powering our electronics to the ...

Mike Mason, VP Technology at Powerlase, discusses advances and manufacturing benefits of Rapid Laser Patterning (RLP) in the production of Flat Panel Displays. Since appearing on the market in the ...

Researchers report a nonvolatile phase-programmable spintronic terahertz emitter that uses femtosecond laser pulses to switch THz phase states and magnetic fields to reset them. The device enables ...
