In micro- and nanotechnology, highly precise components with tall, narrow structures (high aspect ratios) made from ...

Two cervical spinal spacers are textured with the Tecotex I104 pattern. Smooth surfaces are fine for tabletops or new cars. But to promote osseointegration and attach implants to native bone, a smooth ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have invented a customizable chemical etching process that can be used to manufacture high-performance focusing devices ...

A thin interlayer stabilizes metal-assisted chemical etching, enabling precise, plasma-free fabrication of silicon ...

The medical industry has an obvious need for the absolute highest standard in precision metal parts to ensure that surgical instruments, for instance, function smoothly without fault. The metal parts ...

After more than a decade of research and development, Tokyo Electron Miyagi Ltd. has introduced an innovative semiconductor etching method that achieves etch rates up to five times faster than ...

Deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) is a highly anisotropic plasma etching process that creates deep, near-vertical features in silicon and related microfabrication materials. DRIE extends ordinary ...

As any good metallurgist will tell you, you can't just take any two types of metal and weld them together. You may instead be able to just join them together with glue, however, thanks to research ...

Photochemical etching is a machining technique that leverages the principles behind photography to shape a piece of sheet metal and turn it into a finished product or component. The modern form of ...
