A new technology has been developed that enables the manufacturing of thin films, which typically require complex processes, ...

Dendritic structures that emerge during the growth of thin films are a major obstacle in large-area fabrication, a key step towards commercialization. However, current methods of studying dendrites ...

Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) researchers have discovered a fast, simple, and cheap way to make ...

Catalytic function and its efficiency play a significant role in industrial reactions, and consistent reforms are made in the ...

The beam will eject source atoms towards the substrate which then deposit as a thin film. The high vacuum ensures near line-of-sight deposition leading to minimal sidewall coverage, which is ideal for ...

Scalable method rapidly creates stable, flexible carbon nanoparticle films using only water and oil, enabling precise, ...

Abstract Freestanding networked nanoparticle (NP) films hold substantial potential due to their high surface areas and customizable porosities ...

The global thin film photovoltaics market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 12-15% from 2025-2035, driven by perovskite, CdTe, and CIGS solar technologies. While crystalline silicon dominates 90% of ...

But there is a limit to how thin vanadium dioxide films can ... "Ordinarily, when a film is placed on a hard substrate, strong surface forces interfere with the atomic structure of the film ...

As the substrate spins, the liquid film thins and dries, leaving behind a thin, solid film. Spin coating is extensively employed in various fields, including microelectronics, optics, and ...

A new AI model can analyze dendritic growth in thin films, improving understanding of material processes and paving the way ...
