By: Norbert Lorenz Over the past few years the interest in Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) and Micro-Optical-Electrical-Mechanical-Systems (MOEMS) from research institutions, industrial firms and the press has risen considerably. Of particular interest are lab-on-a chip devices where many subsystems (ICs and MEMS) are assembled to a functional system for medical and bio-photonic applications. To date the main […]

By: Masoud Mahjouri-Samani Limitations of current technology and demands for smaller, faster, more efficient and cost effective electronic and optical devices have provoked scientists and researchers around the world to find new materials which satisfy their needs. The extraordinary characteristics and properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have made them promising candidates for fabricating nano-scale electronics […]

Texturing structures of Ti films by multiple femtosecond laser pulses
By: Yongguang Huang Femtosecond laser texturing has proved to be a particularly powerful method for creating a wide variety of surface structures on the metal films, such as a hollow microbump-nanojet sturcture and disk-column-nanodroplet structure on the gold films. The process of femtosecond laser texturing does not rely on material removal, but on hydrodynamic flow […]
