Inventors Synthesize Graphene with Lasers
As featured in the LIA TODAY By Liliana Caldero Graphene – it’s the two-dimensional (2D) allotrope of carbon atoms that ignited the imaginations of researchers across the globe. Heralded as a ‘miracle material’, its potential seemed limitless and it was predicted to usher in the next generation of technology. Flexible, stronger than steel, transparent, lightweight, […]
Picosecond Laser 4-Beam Interference Ablation of Metal Films for Microstructuring
By: B. Voisiat, M. Gedvilas, G. Raciukaitis Laboratory for Applied Research, Center for Physical Science and Technology, Lithuania Properties of the surface highly depend on its relief. The best example is a lotus leaf with the “self-cleaning”, hydrofobic feature. Micro- and nano-structuring with specific patterns and at localized places is useful to control wettability, lubrication and […]
