Self-healing coatings are advanced materials that can repair damage, such as scratches and cracks on their own. Researchers have developed an efficient method for preparing self-healing films ...

Solution-based approaches are widely used for crystal growth and material assembly. In the solution-based processes, inherent fluid flows always present. Recently, researchers at Peking University ...

What is Layer-by-Layer Assembly? Layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly is a technique for fabricating multilayered thin films by alternately depositing oppositely charged materials onto a substrate. This ...

When a multi-die package worth $500 fails final test because of a defect that originated three process steps earlier, the economics of advanced packaging become painfully clear. Each excursion carries ...

The optofluidic approach to 3D microfabrication achieves high assembly rates and broad material use, paving the way for ...

Multi-die assemblies are becoming more common and more complex due to technology advancements and market demands, but differing die dimensions are making this process increasingly challenging. To ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Mesoporous materials have emerged as a frontier of materials science, thanks to their unique combination of high surface area, tunable pore sizes, and ability to host functional ...
