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

Electron beam deposition occurs at high vacuum (10-7 Torr). A focused beam of high-energy electrons is directed to a crucible containing the ultra-high purity source material (such as gold). The beam ...

They integrated a porous heterogeneous thin film in a cross-flow microfluidic setup. What a thin film ensures is that the ...

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 ...

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 ...

A microscopically thin layer of material that is deposited onto a metal, ceramic, semiconductor or plastic base. Typically less than one micron thick, thin films can be conductive or dielectric ...

The group has also developed a novel approach to evaluate the effectiveness of a cross-flow microfluidic system combined with a porous heterogeneous catalyst thin film.
