Inspired by the wings of dragonflies and cicadas, researchers have developed a new coating for orthopedic implants. It not only shreds harmful bacteria, but also monitors stress on the system, meaning it could warn of impending implant failure.
A research team led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory used X-ray beams to gain new insights into materials crucial to hydrogen production and usage.
Physicists at the Australian National University are using nanoparticles to develop new sources of light that increase the frequency of light that cameras and other technologies see by up to seven times.
An international research group with researchers from China, Japan, and the Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM, developed a new surface coating technology that is capable of significantly increasing electron emission in materials.
Rigaku, Japan, leading provider of X-ray metrology solutions for semiconductor in-line processes, research and development, and high-volume manufacturing, has opened its first Semiconductor Metrology Technology Center in Sunnyvale, CA.
