Custom polymer structures can now be 3D printed inside living cells using laser-based fabrication, opening paths to intracellular sensors, cell tracking tags, and embedded microlasers.

Medical grade polymer tubing is an essential component in various medical and healthcare devices and instruments due to its outstanding attributes, including exceptional durability, sterilization ...

Researchers have developed a photoresist for two-photon microprinting. It has now been used for the first time to produce three-dimensional polymer microstructures with cavities in the nano range. The ...

TEEM PHOTONICS, world leader in passively Q-switched microchip lasers, introduces its new 3D Micro Fabrication Module the µFab3D, allowing the realisation of polymer, protein, metal or other ...

Reducing healthcare costs is an often-heard battle cry in today’s global economy and is a strong motivator for the move from traditional surgical techniques to less-invasive vascular interventions.

A nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center is a defect in the crystal structure of diamond, where a nitrogen atom replaces a carbon atom in the diamond lattice and a neighboring site in the lattice is vacant.

A polymer laser that is pumped by an LED could provide a low-cost and compact source of visible light. Using an LED to pump a polymer laser creates a simple and low-cost source that can emit tunable ...

Researchers imaged nanoscale photocurrents in an all-polymer blend solar cell using photoconductive atomic force microscopy. Trace solvent additives were found to enhance polymer ordering and ...
