Researchers developed a room-temperature, maskless electrodeposition method for directly 3D-printing freestanding copper microinductors onto chip contact pads, enabling inductance to be generated without requiring additional dedicated planar silicon area. The printed microsolenoids achieved nanohenry-range inductance, quality factors up to 18, and experimentally validated inductive behavior up to 15 GHz, supporting their potential for post-fabrication integration into future RF electronics.
Rare-earth oxides such as cerium oxide, lanthanum oxide, and yttrium oxide can improve laser-cladded metal coatings by refining grains, purifying the molten pool, strengthening interfaces, and altering solidification behavior. The review finds that these effects can increase hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and crack resistance, although performance depends strongly on additive concentration, particle size, alloy system, and processing conditions.
Detecting radiation is key to technologies ranging from particle accelerators and scientific instruments to medical imaging and security screening.
This review examines how the rheology, surface oxidation, and interfacial properties of liquid metals shape their printability and performance in stretchable electronics. The authors show how advances in material formulation and 2D-to-4D printing are enabling highly conductive, deformable devices, while identifying scalability, encapsulation, recyclability, and reliable integration as key barriers to practical use.
Case Western Reserve University will lead a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) project aimed at advancing the United States' ability to produce key rare-earth metals used in magnets that help power everything from military drones to electric vehicles.
It's challenging for scientists to monitor chemical processes at nuclear facilities in real time. In this study, scientists developed new techniques to analyze chemical solutions in complex environments.
In partnership with A.J. Tuck Company, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed a new manufacturing approach that could simplify production of critical components for advanced nuclear reactors and other energy and defense applications.
Future fusion power plants aim to recreate the heart of a star here on Earth to power our future energy needs. While the core fusion plasma will burn at hundreds of millions of degrees, the surrounding structural components must handle sudden, punishing heat loads that rival the extreme temperatures faced by spacecraft upon reentry into Earth's atmosphere.
A research team led by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have developed a new material that combines inorganic material with biological components to produce hydrogen peroxide more efficiently.
Photothermal Spectroscopy Corp. is heading to ICORS 2026 in Istanbul, with two ways to connect: an expert-led workshop on multimodal chemical imaging and conversations with our team at Booth 5 throughout the conference.
