Spin coating is a widely used technique for depositing thin, uniform films onto flat substrates. It involves the application of a liquid material onto a rotating substrate, which spreads the material ...

An inexpensive liquid-phase deposition method can form molecularly ordered films of various materials, a feat usually carried out commercially via costly vapor deposition techniques (Science 2019, DOI ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Manganese oxides have numerous applications in batteries, supercapacitors, microelectronics and (electro)catalysis – all of which can greatly benefit from conformally deposited ...

There are many ways to deposit a nanosized film, in what is termed ‘bottom-up’ deposition methods. Nanosized films can also be produced by top-down approaches—such as lithography or etching—where ...

Perovskite solar cells, it seems, have been on the verge of large-scale production for a couple of years now. Researchers are testing a variety of different routes to reproducing the already ...

As microfabrication technology develops, information processing devices—like smartphones—become more sophisticated due to an increase in information recording density. However, in recent years, ...

Polycarbonate (PC) resin is widely used for automobile parts. In order to improve its abrasion-proof and ultraviolet (UV) shielding abilities, we studied the effects of applying SiO₂/ZnO ...
