Expanded stent physically opens a blocked blood vessel, but interactions between the metal surface and vascular cells can either promote healing or lead to adverse effects. The research team led by Dr ...

Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) is a set of advanced methods for surface analysis. The recent advances in SPM of metals, polymers, insulating, and semiconductive materials are primarily due to the ...

A project at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) has developed a laser-based procedure intended to improve the successful use of stents in vascular surgery. As the global population ...

Engineers use laser patterning and iron-oxide ink to control graphene growth on polymers, creating flexible microelectrodes that detect dopamine and serotonin. The research opens new opportunities for ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Crystalline materials with precisely engineered structures lie at the heart of virtually every advanced technology, from the silicon microchips powering our electronics to the ...

German scientists have improved the scribing method to interconnect perovskite PV cells, in order to then upscale them into mini PV modules. They established suitable laser fluence ranges for ...
