Airline Tests Laser-microfabricated Friction-reducing Film
TOKYO, Nov. 1, 2022 — Nikon Corp. is providing Japan’s largest airline with a film treated by riblet processing — a processing that forms structures that emulate shark skin on surfaces in contact with fluid. The laser microfabricated film reduces the friction drag caused by an irregular flow of fluid or gas and improves energy efficiency. Nikon’s proprietary film treated by riblet processing reduces fluid resistance and improves fuel efficiency by up to 2%. The film was attached to two ANA
Etched Titania Films Could Speed Production of Integrated Photonics
TOKYO, Jan. 5, 2021 — Tokyo Metropolitan University researchers have achieved high-throughput production of thin, ordered, titania through-hole membranes. The method relies on anodization — a process that increases the thickness of a natural oxide layer on the...
Drones Could Simplify Animated Film Production
ZÜRICH, Dec. 18, 2018 — Computer scientists at ETH Zürich have developed a system that could transform the way animated films are made. The research team, which about a year ago showed that highly technical film scenes could be shot more easily using drones, has now...
Terahertz Scanning Device Developed for Non-Destructive Inspections
TOKYO, Nov. 28, 2016 — Most terahertz imaging systems are very bulky — think body scanners at airports that rotate 360 degrees. But a new portable and wearable terahertz scanning device using arrays of carbon nanotubes (CNT) could make it easier to perform...
Horiba Launches Free Raman Educational Site
