Researchers from the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) have found that when a metal thin film formed by electroless plating on a plastic substrate is irradiated ...

Organic microcavities offer tantalizing prospects for studying the interactions of light and matter. For electrical excitation of these processes, electrodes must be integrated. However, the large ...

In recent years, research interest in the 3D printing of metal patterns on plastic parts has grown exponentially, due to its high potential in the manufacturing of next-generation electronics. But ...

Stripes, curved fibres, dot arrays and some exotic stripe-dot hybrids on the surface of a frozen liquid metal. (Courtesy: K Kalantar-Zadeh) Highly ordered nanopatterns spontaneously form on the ...
