We already knew that copper kills bacteria on contact, as it releases ions that rupture bacterial cell membranes. The material could soon do so faster than ever, however, thanks to a new laser-based ...

What better way to spend a few months in the workshop than by heating Copper chloride to 400° C, building rotary spark gaps and 30kV capacitors, playing with high vacuums and building a very powerful ...

Three laser experiments today: laser-induced electroless copper plating, laser-assisted electroplating on stainless steel, and laser-induced chemical liquid phase deposition onto glass. I'm using a ...

Knowledge is power at the Laser Institute of America (LIA) in Orlando, Florida, where personnel from various industries come to learn how to safely apply laser technology to their respective ...

Germany-based companies, 3D-Micromac AG, a provider of laser micromachining systems, and EOS GmbH, an e-Manufacturing group, have teamed up to form a new organization dubbed 3D MicroPrint GmbH. The ...

A copper-vapor laser is helping to speed up decoding of the human genome. Pin-like devices micromachined with the source can be mounted in more dense arrays on a robotic arm, increasing the throughput ...

One of today’s key application panels focused on novel laser applications in the automotive industry, including a range of topics from production techniques for future vehicles, automated ...

The outdoor equipment manufacturers are increasingly turning towards the application of advanced welding equipment that is ...
