The optimized process was tested on a siloxane elastomer modified with a fluorocarbon silane to enhance hydrophobicity. The resulting surface maintained superomniphobicity at up to 400% strain and ...

Researchers from North Carolina State University have used laser ablation to create ultra-stretchable, superomniphobic materials without the use of harsh chemical solvents. The materials—which are ...

Lasers are no longer science fiction or Cold War dreams. They are already deployed on ships and bases, stopping drones at a fraction of the cost of missiles. This video traces how directed-energy ...

During a recent workshop, a senior executive said to me, “None of us knows how people will learn in this new era.” Lynda Gratton is a professor of management practice at London Business School and the ...

Using intense X-rays, researchers captured a buckyball as it expanded, split and shed electrons under strong laser fields. Detailed scattering measurements showed how the molecule behaves at low, ...

The Bomem DA3 is a type of Fourier transform spectrometer used for measuring various spectral data and [Usagi Electric] has one. On his quest to understand it he runs down a number of rabbit holes, ...

Engineering and laser company Trumpf, the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology (ILT), and the Dahlem Center for Complex Quantum Systems at the Freie Universität Berlin are working together to ...

Video released by the UK Ministry of Defense (MOD) has shown the capabilities of a laser system that can zap drones which will be fitted on a British navy vessel within the next two years. The U.K.

The latest Predator: Badlands trailer features a bunch of new shots of the deadly planet a young Yautja and his synth companion will find themselves stranded on, but the strangest thing going on here ...
