UK-based sputtering technology firm Plasma Quest has a prototype system that could dramatically increase sputtering deposition rates and cut down-time. Sputtering is used to deposit a wide variety of ...

The Hummer 6.2 Sputtering System by Anatech is a vacuum coating instrument used for applying thin, uniform metal coatings to samples, often for scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It operates through ...

[Nixie] wants to sputter. We know, who doesn’t? But [Nixie] has a specific purpose for his sputtering: thin-film deposition, presumably in support of awesome science. But getting to that point ...

A one-step plasma sputtering method for fabricating silicon/tin nanowire anodes could open doors to next-generation lithium-ion batteries Many countries have set decarbonization targets to meet the ...

You may have known lithium from its role in rechargeable batteries, but did you know it may be a vital in fusion reactors? These reactors require walls that don’t sputter out metals or overly cool the ...

Scientists have developed a powerful new kind of sputter process for the electronics industry -- and for other, more exotic applications, including use in outer space -- which deposits high-quality ...

It's all change in the thin-film coating market this week as Satisloh gets snapped up by Essilor and Evatec makes some impressive product announcements. Evatec unveiled two new optical thin-film ...

“You can never be too rich or too thin,” the saying goes, and when it comes to coatings, it’s true that thinner is often better. The way to truly thin coatings, ones that are sometimes only a few ...

Violent solar storms can blast a surprisingly large amount of material off the surface of the moon, according to a new NASA study. Researchers used computer simulations to examine how sun storms and ...
