Patterning Solution – Direct patterning of ZnO thin films
Researchers in Troyes, France have developed a cheap and efficient method of direct patterning ZnO films, using laser interferential lithography to selectively remove ZnO in well-controlled patterns, without the use of a photoresist.
International Year of Light: 3D μ-printing
Three-dimensional μ-printing is a mature technology, enabling novel research fields in various disciplines based on three-dimensional microstructure.
Anisotropic interlayer coupling in atomically thin ReS2
Atomically thin transition-metal-dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have recently attracted a lot of research interest. Like graphene, they can be prepared as two-dimensional crystals by exfoliation. Unlike graphene, they are semiconductors with large band gaps, which make them...
