Just as embroiderers, with needle and thread, can transform plain fabric into an intricate pattern, engineers can use lasers and polymers to create flexible, complex structures that could transform ...

Researchers have developed a simple and eco-friendly way to use a laser to turn natural leather into flexible and wearable ...

A new imaging technique uncovers how electronic patterns in quantum materials evolve unevenly across space and temperature.

Engineers use laser patterning and iron-oxide ink to control graphene growth on polymers, creating flexible microelectrodes that detect dopamine and serotonin.

Paintings are far more than dabs of oil on canvas. They are complex works of art composed of multiple layers, from primer and glues to the pigments and protective varnishes applied by the artists.

A new plasmonic fiber probe uses linearly polarized light and energy recycling for broadband nanofocusing with resolution ...
