A new technology has been developed that enables the manufacturing of thin films, which typically require complex processes, ...

Film flow on a porous layer: Various linear instability and non-linear behaviour in their dependence on porosity and layer thickness [47]. Climbing vibrated droplets: Analysis of a self-ratcheting ...

The work is published in the journal Nature Communications. They integrated a porous heterogeneous thin film in a cross-flow ...

German researchers at Saarland University and the Center for Mechatronics and Automation Technology (ZeMA) are working to advance vacuum technology. They have designed small pumps and valves that work ...

The beam will eject source atoms towards the substrate which then deposit as a thin film. The high vacuum ensures near line-of-sight deposition leading to minimal sidewall coverage, which is ideal for ...

Scalable method rapidly creates stable, flexible carbon nanoparticle films using only water and oil, enabling precise, ...

This ceramic-based mirror-image function of a conventional thermal switch instead electrically controls flow of thermal ...

A research team has developed a technology that can significantly increase the efficiency of eco-friendly solar cells. The ...

Dendritic structures that emerge during the growth of thin films are a major obstacle in large-area fabrication, a key step towards commercialization. However, current methods of studying dendrites ...

They integrated a porous heterogeneous thin film in a cross-flow microfluidic setup. What a thin film ensures is that the catalyst remains immobilized on a solid substrate. In this setup ...

Typically less than one micron thick, thin films can be conductive or dielectric (non-conductive) and are used in myriad applications. For example, the top metallic layer on a chip and the coating ...
