Cooled to almost absolute zero, atoms not only move in waves like light but also can be focused into shapes called caustics, similar to the reflecting or refracting patterns light makes on the bottom ...

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2014 was awarded for the development of super-resolved fluorescence microscopy. Inspired by this work, scientists at Institute of Photonic Chips (IPC), University of ...

Lasercutters are amazingly versatile tools that can help you build all manner of complicated structures if you can break them down into a series of planar parts. [David] had spotted artworks at the ...

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 ...

Twisting laser patterns into a corkscrew-like pattern, rather than sending the light beams in a line, promises to relieve some data gridlock, say scientists A bottleneck in data rates is coming, some ...

A scalable nanofabrication method uses electric-field alignment and picosecond laser welding to imprint patterned silver nanowire networks on polymer films. (Nanowerk News) A breakthrough development ...

If you’re one of the lucky ones who has access to a laser cutter, you’re definitely going to want to check out [Aaron Porterfield’s] latest work. He’s been experimenting with making flexible wood.

Cooled to almost absolute zero, atoms not only move in waves like light but also can be focused into shapes called caustics, similar to the reflecting or refracting patterns light makes on the bottom ...
