Electroplating is the conventional method used for this purpose, but scientists have now developed a novel laser-based method which involves laser cladding…
Drivers who fill up with natural gas instead of gasoline or diesel spend less on fuel and are more environmentally friendly. Natural gas is kinder on the…
The first successful use of this new process can be seen in Norderstedt, near Hamburg, Germany. Nearly 300 m² of the insulated glass façade of a new building…
The human eye is as comfortable with white light generated by diode lasers as with that produced by increasingly popular light-emitting diodes (LEDs),…
In conventional milling operations, a workpiece on a table is typically fed past a rotating multi-tooth cutter, and the entire surface is processed by making a…
UV lasers are a commonly-used tool for cutting into tissue, but the lasers usually make incisions by vaporizing one point at a time in a series of steps. If…
Their specialty: manufacturing solar cells that are one thousand times thinner than conventional cells. In order to boost the output of the cells, they have…
Current advanced femtosecond laser systems offer myriad possibilities to modify materials, from implementing new optical functionality to improving existing…
Precious metals like platinum and rhodium are very valuable, and also very rare. That makes it increasingly important to recycle these precious metals from a…
Molecules that suddenly transform into new structures when stimulated by photons or electrons play key roles in many chemical and biological processes….
The “CIS Cluster Tool” project is starting its work on the development of new manufacturing procedures for copper indium selenide-based thin film…
Having set a new energy saving benchmark for seawater desalination, Siemens is now poised to transition their ground-breaking technology to the product…
Advanced treatment technologies therefore have to link water, energy and environmental sustainability through innovation. In its global R&D center based in…
This enables deviations from the set contour and speed to be minimized and the energy input to be stabilized.In recent years the use of modern solid-state…
“In many cases, it is much easier to redirect a laser beam at a target than to steer the laser itself. We intended to develop a way to do this efficiently and…
Industry has placed a long list of demands on micro-machining laser systems – the laser beam must be easy to focus, nearly non-fluctuating, and beam…
