A research group at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has delivered the first clear view of how ultra-thin liquid layers rearrange themselves around microscopic surface clusters inside ...

Scientists have cracked open a mysterious layer inside batteries, using cutting-edge 3D atomic force microscopy to capture the dynamic molecular structures at their solid-liquid interfaces. These once ...

Ordinarily, if you want to make a 3D-printed liquid-filled object, you have to inject the liquid after the object has been printed. A new process, however, allows such items to be printed all in one ...

Flexible three-dimensional integrated circuits (3D ICs) enable high-density interconnects, miniaturization, and multifunctionality. Unlike rigid circuits, flexible 3D ICs can conform to various ...

Standard methods for additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, have major drawbacks with regards to process speed and mechanical strength of the finished product. Standard commercial ...

3D NAND flash memory is built by vertically stacking multiple alternating layers (tiers) of silicon nitride (SiN) and oxide (TEOS) on top of each other. A major challenge in producing multilayered 3D ...
