Low-Cost Method Offers Solution for Small-Volume MEMS Sensor Production
STOCKHOLM, Oct. 14, 2022 — Researchers at KTH Royal Institute of Technology have developed a 3D-printing technique for specialized manufacturing of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). The approach offers a cost-efficient way to manufacture custom-designed MEMS devices, in small volumes, that could be used as sensors in robotics, navigation, and more. Although MEMS technologies can be efficiently produced at high volumes using large-scale semiconductor manufacturing techniques, the manufacture of MEMS components
Light-Based Tissue Bioprinting Method Cuts Reliance on Animals
BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 24, 2022 — A light-based 3D bioprinting technique could soon be used to produce tissue models for testing and basic research. The approach is poised to reduce reliance on animals in laboratory testing. BRIGHTER, a European Union-funded project coordinated by...
Light-Based Method Creates 2D Polymer, Expedites Quest for New 2D Materials
LINKÖPING, Sweden, June 16, 2021 — A method that uses light to manufacture 2D polymers that have the thickness of a single molecule could create a path for the development of ultrathin, functional 2D materials with highly defined and regular crystalline structures. The new method was...
Polymer Molecules Fluoresce After Chemical Adjustments
ZURICH, April 8, 2021 — ETH Zurich researchers have introduced a method that relies on chemical adjustments occurring in fluorescent organic polymer molecules to generate a broad palette of color. The approach is an alternative to mixing different molecules to achieve...
Gold Nanoparticle Plasmon Coupling Illuminates Thermal Sensing Possibilities
RALEIGH, N.C., March 31, 2021 — Researchers from North Carolina State University have described a method for achieving desirable optical properties by stretching shape-memory polymers embedded with gold nanoparticle clusters so as to alter their plasmon-coupling capabilities. The...
Laser-Based Method Enables 3D-Printed Glass with Intricate Detail
WASHINGTON, D.C., Jan. 13, 2021 — A laser-powered polymerization process for 3D-printing applications overcomes the need to build a 3D-printed object one layer at a time. A research team from France’s Fresnel Institute and École Centrale de Marseille introduced the...
Low-Energy Light Invigorates Polymer Object Production Process
RALEIGH, N.C., Sept. 21, 2020 — Visible yellow and green light are central to a process that researchers from North Carolina State University used to produce polymer gel objects from pure monomer solutions. After dissolving zinc meso-tetraphenylporphyrin (ZnTPP) into pure monomers...
Fabricating Precise Polymer Optics
Oct 30, 2017 — Polymer optics are one of the cornerstones of photonics, driving the innovation necessary to meet the requirements for ever-smaller installation spaces and significant weight savings, all while achieving a higher image quality. The miniaturization...
Two-Photon Polymerization: Additive Manufacturing From the Inside Out
Sep 20, 2016 — The 20th century was an era of revolutionary materials science development, as plastics, semiconductors and biomaterials were introduced, and established materials such as metals and ceramics were significantly upgraded. These new and improved...
