Languages: English. Researchers have developed a laser treatment technique able to transform metal surfaces and allow them to instantly kill bacteria on contact. Scientists at Purdue University ...

As a side benefit, the etching process makes metal surfaces water-repellant. Additionally, the treatment can be used to remove less chemically-stable particles from metal surfaces. Medical ...

These unstable particles can be specifically removed from the surface of a metal by a targeted etching. The top surface layer is roughened by the etching process, creating a three-dimensional ...

The team says this “superhydrophobic” etching technique ... it still floated the surface even when its structural integrity was compromised. This proves that metal etched in such a way could ...

Next, the researchers placed a drop of mild etching solution onto ... a chemical reaction catalyzed by the metal film etched remarkable patterns on the germanium surface. Investigation of the ...

Stanford University and the University of Pennsylvania has introduced a novel wet chemical etching process that modifies the surface of conventional metal powders. By creating nanoscale grooves ...

As for copper, vinegar can cause etching in the metal's surface if it sits for too long. Although you should not leave ...

Fiber lasers aren’t nearly as common as their diode and CO2 cousins, but if you’re lucky enough to have one in your garage or ...
