(Nanowerk Spotlight) Kevlar is a well-known high-strength polymer that, thanks to its excellent mechanical performance, has found a variety of important security applications, from textiles (e.g.

Silica nanochannels with diameters of only 30 nm and an aspect ratio of more than 200 recently were created in silica by researchers from China’s Xi’an Jiaotong University. These nanochannels are, ...

Researchers showed that their optimized direct laser writing approach could create high-resolution line gratings on a glass substrate. These SEM images show line gratings the researchers created using ...

Meanwhile, DLW, based on the interaction between light and matter, is an efficient, contactless, mask free, and depth-resolved micro-patterning technique. It is typically performed by coupling a laser ...

Techniques allowing doctors and clinicians to understand the human heart and how it responds to treatment without embarking on major surgery can involve several different approaches, but none of them ...

A project at Brazil's Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) has manufactured sensors for potential use in medical and industrial applications by laser writing onto fallen leaves. Published in ACS ...

Environmental sensors are a step closer to simultaneously sniffing out multiple gases that could indicate disease or pollution. Researchers combined laser writing and responsive sensor technologies to ...
