The groundbreaking discovery could open new doors for other researchers working with delicate materials such as cell membranes. (Nanowerk News) Imagine drawing on something as delicate as a living ...

Bond strength and etch patterns vary between tooth type and between teeth within a tooth type. An 'ideal' enamel etch pattern is not essential for high bond strength. Objectives: The aim of the study ...

Some enzymes can chew through synthetic polymers. Researchers would like to harness this ability to etch channels, trenches, and holes into biocompatible materials as a way to fabricate drug delivery ...

A parametric study reveals more sustainable etch dynamics, chromium mask selectivity, and pathways toward zero-global-warming ...

The term nanolithography is derived from the Greek words “nanos”, meaning Dwarf; “lithos”, meaning rock; and “grapho” meaning to write. Therefore the literal translation is "tiny writing on rocks".

What is Reactive Ion Etching (RIE)? Reactive Ion Etching (RIE) is a dry etching technique widely used in the fabrication of micro- and nanodevices. It combines the chemical reactivity of reactive ...

The rapid development of silicon-based transistors leads to its integration getting closer to the limit of Moore's law. Graphene is expected to become the next generation of mainstream chip materials ...
