The use of granular materials and fine powders are commonplace in industrial applications. These materials must be precisely characterized in order to properly control and optimize processing methods, ...

Fraunhofer ILT and Etxetar have signed a letter of intent, focusing on the further development and industrialisation of LMD and EHLA technologies.

What is Electro-Spark Deposition? Electro-spark deposition (ESD) is used for the precision repair of high-value worn components on a small scale using pulse micro-welding. Electro-spark deposition is ...

Copper’s resistivity depends on its crystal structure, void volume, grain boundaries and material interface mismatch, which becomes more significant at smaller scales. The formation of copper (Cu) ...

Pinellas County Sheriff's Office uses a microscopic amount of gold in a Vacuum Metal Deposition Chamber to uncover ...

Virginia Tech advances additive friction stir deposition - creating a strong, defect-free material that can be 3D printed in bulk.

In recent years, research interest in the 3D printing of metal patterns on plastic parts has grown exponentially, due to its high potential in the manufacturing of next-generation electronics. But ...

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) originated from atomic layer epitaxy, which was introduced in 1970 and initially used in electroluminescent displays. It rapidly revolutionized semiconducting ...
