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 ...

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 ...

Laser damage in fused silica, particularly ultraviolet laser damage, is still a key problem limiting the development of high-power laser systems. The traditional processing method of fused silica goes ...

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 ...

Precision Micro’s etched plates form a critical part of the manufacturing process, helping customers produce compact heat ...

The demand continues to grow for small but vital components. How chemical etching keeps tooling costs low and allows for rapid design changes. 1. Chemical etching can create complex, stress-free ...

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 ...

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 ...
