A chemical etching method for widening the pores of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) could improve various applications of MOFs, including in fuel cells and as catalysts. Researchers at Nagoya ...

Smart systems increasingly rely on the smallest metal components, and many of these begin not with software but with sensors, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Fiber lasers aren’t nearly as common as their diode and CO2 cousins, but if you’re lucky enough to have one in your garage or local makerspace, this technique for depositing thin films of metals in ...

What looks like an aerial shot of an alien landscape is actually a scanning electron microscope view of a test glass surface, acquired as part of a project to improve the lifetime of spaceborne atomic ...
