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 ...

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 ...

A new study reveals a sustainable approach to nanoparticle production using laser ablation in liquids, eliminating toxic ...

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

The two main laser ablation mechanisms are photo-thermal ablation and photo-chemical ablation. In photo-thermal ablation, a thermal laser source such as an infrared CO2 laser delivers concentrated ...

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 ...

Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) is a thin film deposition technique that utilizes a high-power pulsed laser beam to ablate a target material, creating a plasma plume that deposits the material onto a ...

The copper efficiently protects the inside of the tube, and the strands do not melt under the heat of the infrared laser because of copper's high reflection coefficient. The molten material generated ...
