Laser-Induced Micro-Explosions Create New, Exotic Materials

A team of researchers has developed a novel technique to make new, exotic materials using ultra-short laser-induced micro-explosions in silicon. Silicon is a material that is generally used in computer chips. The research team successfully focused lasers onto silicon which was embedded deep inside a clear silicon dioxide layer and blasted small cavities in the solid silicon reliably. The study has been published in Nature Communications.

Macromolecules Self-Assemble from Metastable, Supersaturated Solution into Crystals

The mother liquor from which a biomolecular crystal is grown will contain water, buffer molecules, native ligands and cofactors, crystallization precipitants and additives, various metal ions, and often small-molecule ligands or inhibitors. On average, about half the volume of a biomolecular crystal consists of this mother liquor, whose components form the disordered bulk solvent.

Rinco Ultrasonics Extends Machinery Range with First Electrically Driven Ultrasonic Welding Machine

With its new Electrical Motion ultrasonic welding machine (working frequency: 20 kHz), the Swiss specialist for ultrasonic welding technology, Rinco Ultrasonics, is treading new ground: away from the traditional pneumatic drive to an electrically driven welding machine. With this solution, the relevant parameters for the joining process can be regulated individually and very finely – from the positioning of the sonotrode and the applied welding force to the welding rate.
