Laser ablation is a process that uses high-energy laser pulses to precisely remove or vaporize materials from a solid surface. When the laser beam focuses on the target material, it absorbs the laser ...

Automotive coatings are designed to serve two main purposes: protecting the vehicle body from corrosion and delivering visual ...

Researchers from Trinity College Dublin's School of Engineering have built a powerful new machine that lets us watch ...

LA-ICP-MS (Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry) LA-ICP-MS is a powerful analytical method for performing very precise elemental and isotopic analyses on solid materials. By ...

This “TriBeam” combination provides unprecedented material removal rates for quick millimeter-scale characterization at nanometer resolution, along with high-resolution imaging and analysis with in ...

Laser testing The test is called LIPIT, meaning “laser-induced projectile impact testing”. It uses lasers to launch a microprojectile made of either silica or glass into a thin film of the material of ...

Femtosecond-laser-ablation, in which the material is exposed to ultrashort bursts of high energy, creates micrometre-scale grooves and ripples on the surface of GaAs (see right). “The light gets ...

Background: Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) involves a laser ablation procedure, where a laser pulse interacts with a material surface to induce the formation of a plasma plume that expands away from ...
