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 ...

Convoluted neural networks learn how to optimize femtosecond laser patterning parameters. Credit: Journal of Physics: Photonics From additive 3D printing to subtractive ablative eye surgery, laser ...

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 ...

These reported cell alignment techniques were able to create cell structures using a large number of cells to mimic the native cardiac tissue; thus, they could not be used to explore the importance of ...

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 ...

Researchers and scientists at the University of Rochester have been able to invent a new laser patterning system to transform metals into materials with new properties, creating super hydrophobic ...

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 ...

A scalable nanofabrication method uses electric-field alignment and picosecond laser welding to imprint patterned silver ...

"This is the first time that a multifunctional metal surface is created by lasers that is superhydrophobic (water repelling), self-cleaning, and highly absorptive," said Chunlei Guo, a physicist at ...

(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 ...
