The design, fabrication process, and functional schematic of a multi-material and multi-functional hand-microrobot are shown in the figure. The far-right side of the figure shows the functions of each ...

Scientists show that it is possible to make a femtosecond laser that fits in the palm of one's hand using a glass substrate. Is it possible to make a femtosecond laser entirely out of glass? That's ...

Figure 1 Schematic diagram of a three-dimensional integrated multichannel waveguide grating filter: (a) 1:1 planar beam splitter, (b) 1:1 three-dimensional beam splitter, (c) waveguide gratings ...

When researchers at the Galatea laboratory in Switzerland set out to create a femtosecond laser in glass they weren’t certain it was going to work. To be precise, their goal was to create a ...

Luminescent metal-organic frameworks (LMOFs) are a class of MOF materials that have received much research interest across various fields. However, conventional techniques employed to produce them ...

The emergence of ultrafast laser pulse generation, marking a significant milestone in laser science, has triggered incredible progress across a wide array of disciplines, encompassing industrial ...

The last decade has witnessed a huge development in additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing when compared with its counterpart, subtractive manufacturing. AM enables rapid prototyping, ease of ...

Atomic-scale laser treatment enhances laser-induced graphene for efficient electrothermal heating and water purification through improved conductivity and structure. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Graphene’s ...

Glass! It’s a finicky thing. Strong as hell, yet chip it and glance at it the wrong way, and you’re left with a bunch of sharp rubbish. It’s at once adored for its clarity and smoothness, and decried ...
