Investigating laser technologies in bioelectronics, this review highlights optical principles that optimize fabrication ...

A project at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) has developed a laser-based procedure intended to improve the successful use of stents in vascular surgery. As the global population ...

Expanded stent physically opens a blocked blood vessel, but interactions between the metal surface and vascular cells can either promote healing or lead to adverse effects. The research team led by Dr ...

Developing lasers that process plasma display panels at rates of up to six metres per second is commonplace at UK firm Powerlase. Mike Mason and Matt Henry tell Jacqueline Hewett about the company's ...

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 ...

Most space missions rely on chemical rockets for propulsion. Rockets must carry fuel, which increases spacecraft mass and limits their speed and travel distance. For decades, researchers have explored ...
