Light sometimes appears to be "dragged" by the motion of the medium through which it is traveling. This phenomenon, referred ...

Researchers have demonstrated that by using argon plasma, metal atoms can be dispersed and guided to desired positions. This ...

Lead zirconate titanate (PZT)-type ceramics used as piezoelectric sensors have electrodes made by metallic film deposition on the ceramic substrate, which has low adherence on substrate surface.

Titanium and its alloys have been commonly used as implant materials. However, the inherent bioinert nature hinders its good osseointegration which limits its permanent clinical applications. In this ...

Ion implantation is a well-known technique used in surface treatment of materials. During the 80's ion implantation using a sample immersed in an ionized gaseous medium (known as plasma immersion ion ...

The ion implantation process in semiconductor manufacturing faces multiple challenges such as high-energy ion beams, strong electric fields, and corrosive gases. Industrial ceramic components have ...

Achieving deterministic control over the properties of low-dimensional materials with nanoscale precision is a long-sought goal. Mastering this capability has a transformative effect on the design of ...
