A project at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) has developed a laser-based procedure intended to improve the successful use of stents in vascular surgery. As the global population ...

Expanded stent physically opens a blocked blood vessel, but interactions between the metal surface and vascular cells can either promote healing or lead to adverse effects. The research team led by Dr ...

A project from TU Wien (Technical University of Vienna, Austria) has demonstrated how laser patterning can be used to create microvascular channels within microfluidic chips. The breakthrough, ...

Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) is a set of advanced methods for surface analysis. The recent advances in SPM of metals, polymers, insulating, and semiconductive materials are primarily due to the ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Crystalline materials with precisely engineered structures lie at the heart of virtually every advanced technology, from the silicon microchips powering our electronics to the ...
