A new technology has been developed that enables the manufacturing of thin films, which typically require complex processes, ...

Thin film devices, composed of layers of materials a few nanometers thick, play an important role in various technologies, ...

Dendritic structures that emerge during the growth of thin films are a major obstacle in large-area fabrication, a key step towards commercialization. However, current methods of studying dendrites ...

A team of researchers from Saarland University in Germany has found a way to turn super-thin, stretchy films—about the thickness of kitchen cling wrap—into smart materials that can bring everyday ...
