UV and visible light cationic photoinitiators – an overview
There are many economic, environmental and production benefits related to using light as a trigger for processes.
Space modules for industrial and scientific purposes
Bigelow Aerospace and United Launch Alliance join forces to foster habitable volumes in Low Earth orbit
Droop in phosphors
Droop, the decrease of efficiency with drive, is a major technology topic for InGaN-based light emitting diodes (LEDs).
Subsea concept to simplify oil exploration
Statoil presented a new subsea concept to reduce cost and increase efficiency.
Stability issues of the next generation solar cells
Due to the need to develop efficient, low cost photovoltaics, different emerging photovoltaic technologies have been attracting increasing attention.
Stable gold nanowires for nanoelectronics
A new 1D gold nanowire is proposed for novel nanoelectronics by researchers in China. The design of the new structure was achieved by carefully considering the stability of 0D, 1D, and 2D gold nanostructures.
Supercontinuum Laser Sources With Unmatched Flexibility
Stand-alone, supercontinuum laser source “Solea” with unmatched flexibility in repetition rate. Variants covering two spectral domains ranging from 480 to 700 nm (“Solea”) or 900 nm (“SoleaR”) are available featuring either a tunable wavelength selector or only emitting the full supercontinuum spectrum (white variants).
Coming Unstuck: Versatile Heat-Reversible Adhesives for Debonding on Demand
Adhesives and glues are essential in a wide range of applications in modern life, from buildings to vehicles, and mobile devices to biomedical applications.
Ion-Gel Films for Organic Electronics
Ion-gels have possible applications in organic electronics due to their favorable electronic characteristics and good thermal and chemical stability.
Re-Ni coatings for aircraft and aerospace applications
A unique combination of a columnar and multilayer structure was observed for an electrodeposit produced by dc plating in a single bath.
Precipitation “on demand” – towards surfactant-free nanoparticles
Researchers from Germany introduce acid-triggered precipitation which facilitates the removal of surfactant fragments from nanoparticles simplifying the purification and enabling nanoparticle precipitation “on demand.”
