JEOL USA, Peabody, Mass., released its new broad ion beam milling instruments, Cross Section Polisher and Cooling Cross Section Polisher, for preparing high quality, artifact-free cross sections for imaging and microanalysis by SEM, EPMA, or Auger.
Medical implants have revolutionized healthcare with advanced materials and technologies, but many face challenges like poor cell adhesion, leading to inflammatory responses. Apatite coatings, especially hydroxyapatite (HA) found in bones, can enhance integration with tissues, but artificially synthesized apatite nanoparticles often lack effective binding with biological tissues. Researchers at Nagaoka University of Technology, Japan, have […]
The world record for thinnest pasta has just been shattered. A team of researchers has created starchy nanofibers from white flour, with an average thickness of about 370 nanometers, or roughly two-hundredths the thickness of a human hair. These nanofibers, produced by mixing flour with formic acid to uncoil the starch molecules, are being explored […]
Researchers from Harvard University, MIT, and QuEra Computing Inc. have developed a new digital quantum simulation architecture based on reconfigurable atom arrays to simulate fermionic systems on quantum computers. This approach aims to advance materials science, chemistry, and high-energy physics by improving simulations of complex quantum materials and exotic phases of matter, which are challenging […]
A research team led by Associate Professor Tao Sun has made significant advancements in additive manufacturing, particularly for aerospace and other industries requiring strong metal parts. They have successfully tackled the challenge of detecting keyhole pores, a major defect in the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) technique. Introduced in the 1990s, LPBF uses metal powder […]
