[Justin] enjoys tinkering in his home lab, working on a wide variety of experiments. Recently, he’d found much success in coating objects with thin layers of various metals with the help of a DC ...

Titanium alloys, in particular, medical-grade Ti-6Al-4 V, are heavily used in orthopaedic applications due to their high moduli, strength, and biocompatibility. Implant infection can result in biofilm ...

Due to their high success rate and predictability, oral implants are now the preferred method for replacing missing teeth. Fixed and removable dental prostheses can be affixed with the support of ...

Large metal surfaces coated with precisely formed nanostructures have so far remained in the realm of fantasy. The obstacle standing in the way of their production seemed fundamental, as it resulted ...

Researchers in Thailand have developed an anti-reflective and anti-soiling coating for commercial solar modules that is claimed to increase power yield by over 6%. The coating has photocatalytic ...

New research from SUNY Polytechnic Institute introduces an innovative, eco-friendly method to enhance the performance and longevity of titanium-based dental implants, focusing on improving the ...

Colorcon provides customers with Opadry complete film coating systems, which intends to help reduce complexity with delivering high-quality products and ingredients. Colorcon, a company that ...

Germany’s Fraunhofer FEP has unveiled a dirt-repellent coating for solar panels. The material is reportedly able to acquire superhydrophilic properties at night and wash away the dirt through the ...

The human body is a marvellous system, with completely integrated load-bearing and power transmission systems that are both self-replicating and adaptable to changes in environment, work rates and ...

Apple is researching how it can reduce the appearance of fingerprints and smudges on the metal surfaces of its products and has hinted yet again at the use of titanium for future Apple devices, ...

Adding a layer of graphene to silicon solar cells cuts the devices’ potential costs. Such graphene-silicon cells, though, convert light to electricity with low efficiencies. A team of researchers now ...
