Chinese Academy of Sciences Reports DUV Lithography Breakthrough
A compact, solid-state, nanosecond laser system capable of generating 193-nm coherent light — a wavelength crucial for the fabrication of silicon wafers — could greatly enhance the efficiency and precision of semiconductor lithography and open new paths to advanced manufacturing techniques. The advance comes from a team at the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and reportedly marks the first time that a 193-nm vortex beam has been produced with a solid-state laser.

FLIR MIX – A Breakthrough in Infrared and Visible Imaging
Thu, Apr 10, 2025 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EDT
Until now, researchers have had to choose between thermal and visible imaging: one reveals heat signatures while the other provides structural detail. Recording both and trying to align them manually—or harder still, synchronizing them temporally—can be inconsistent and time consuming. The result is data that's close but never quite complete. The new FLIR MIX is a game changer, capturing and synchronizing high-speed thermal and visible imagery at up to 1,000 frames per second. Visible and high-performance infrared cameras with FLIR Research Studio software work together to deliver one dataset with perfect spatial and temporal alignment—no missed details or second guessing, just a complete picture of fast-moving events. Presented by FLIR.
