Researchers at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and Center Suisse d’Electronique et de Microtechnique (CSEM) in Switzerland developed a novel single-step thermal annealing process for ...

The major factors affecting the performance of crystalline thin films are the presence of grain boundaries and inherent crystal structure. Post-deposition annealing is frequently employed to improve ...

Researchers at Macquarie University in Sydney have developed a microwave technology they say will improve the production of solar cells, while making them easier to recycle. During the fabrication of ...

Quantum technology, initially used in semiconductor R&D, is now making significant strides in optimizing combinatorial processes. Japan's semiconductor player Rohm is beginning to apply the technology ...

A microwave technology invented at Macquarie University will improve the manufacture of solar cells and make them easier to recycle. During the fabrication of solar panels, silicon goes through ...

The properties of steel can be improved in terms of fatigue, weldability, hardness, wear and corrosion resistance, ductility, and tensile strength by either alloy addition or heat treatment processes.

iconPCR is transforming PCR assay development. DOE research that at one point required dozens of plates and long hours at the ...

A new study examines radical leadership styles through the concept of "annealing." It shows that deliberately creating ...
