4D Printing Scheme Enables Light-Controlled Soft Robotics
ST. LUCIA, Australia, Jan. 15, 2024 — The process of 4D printing is an extension of 3D printing, in which solid objects are created using materials that can change shape when exposed to certain stimuli like heat, water or light. At the University of Queensland’s Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN), researchers have printed 4D structures using liquid metal polymers that can be coaxed into performing a range of mechanical tasks with infrared lasers. AIBN researchers Ruirui Qiao (left) and Liwen...
Liquid Metal Enables Switchable Mirrors
FUKUOKA, Japan, June 16, 2021 — Researchers have demonstrated the ability to switch the surface of liquid metal between reflective and scattering states. The technology could one day be used to create electrically controllable mirrors or illumination devices. Mirrors and other...
‘Metamirror’ Doubles Incident Light Frequency
AUSTIN, Texas, July 8, 2014 — A nanostructure produces nonlinear effects a million times greater than traditional, macro-scale nonlinear crystals, according to a team of researchers from Texas and Germany. This “metamirror” could enable miniaturized laser systems and...
Singulus Equipment to Support Hanergy Solar Production
KAHL AM MAIN, Germany, June 26, 2014 — A Hanegry Solar Group subsidiary has agreed to pay Singulus Technologies more than € 15 million for thin-film deposition equipment to be used at Hanergy’s new high-efficiency solar cell factory in Caofeidian, China. Singulus’ Tenuis...
Streak Cameras Improve Materials Research
Dec 1, 2012 — New calibration options enable significant improvements in the accuracy of new and old devices, which could mean big advances in materials for LEDs and lasers. LEDs have numerous advantages over traditional light sources such as halogen or...
Imaging Between a Rock and a Hard Tooth
EVANSTON, Ill., Jan. 20, 2011 — Here’s something to chew on: An imaging technique sensitive enough to be used at the atomic scale has been used for the first time to create 3-D maps of the teeth of chitons – a class of marine mollusks that can literally chew rock...
Chip Provides its Own Power
ENSCHEDE, The Netherlands, Dec. 16, 2010 — Microchips that “harvest” the energy they need from their own surroundings, without depending on batteries or electricity from the grid, will now be possible, thanks to scientists in China and The Netherlands. Researchers from the...
Indium Hires Product Support Specialist
CLINTON, N.Y., Oct. 6, 2010 — Premier materials supplier Indium Corp. announced that Brook Sandy was hired as a product support specialist. Based at the global headquarters in Clinton, Sandy will serve as a liaison between the company’s production team and customers....
Dissolving CIGS for flexible application
Sep 1, 2009 — Solar cell designs traditionally are based on crystalline silicon, but not only has that material been in short supply, the silicon-solar process is relatively expensive. And as the solar industry strives to decrease the cost to make it a viable...
Efficient Tandem White LEDs
COLLEGE PARK, Md, April 8, 2009 – A new type of LED made from cheap, plastic-like organic materials and designed with a simplified tandem structure can produce twice the light of a normal LED, scientists at the Chinese Academy of Sciences reported.
Giasone Promoted to Metals Manager at Indium
Dec 9, 2008 — Indium Corp. announced the promotion of Emily Giasone to metals manager for it Metals, Chemicals, and Energy (MCE) business unit. Giasone is now responsible for purchasing and trading indium, gallium, germanium, and bismuth raw materials, selling...
EU Project Tops PV Record
BRUSSEL, Belgium, Nov. 21, 2008 – Scientists of the European Commission-financed project, Fullspectrum, have developed photovoltaic (PV) multi-junction (MJ) solar cells that are able to convert 39.7 percent of solar energy into electricity. According to researchers, this is the...
Nanostructures Imaged in 3-D
CLAYTON, Australia, Aug. 1, 2007 -- An optical technique more than a century old has helped solve a major problem with surface electron microscopy -- the inability to receive depth information about a sample -- and now allows fast-moving nanostructures to be imaged in three dimensions...
Spin-Based Semiconductor Works at Room Temp.
ATHENS, Ohio, Oct. 4, 2006 -- Researchers have created an improved magnetic semiconductor that they said solves an electron problem spintronics scientists have been investigating for years. Unlike classic or vintage electronics that operate on electronic charges, spin-based...
'Magnetic Semiconductors' Built, Atom by Atom
IOWA CITY, Iowa, & PRINCETON, N.J., July 28, 2006 -- By using a new technique to replace atoms in a semiconductor with metal atoms -- one atom at a time using a scanning tunneling microscope -- scientists have assembled a magnetic semiconductor. The first-of-its-kind achievement could speed the...
