In order to improve the efficiency of multi-crystalline (mc)-silicon solar cells, laser ablation as a non-contact tool is highly suitable for various processes. Apart from the laser and scanning parameters frequently ...

Ultrashort pulsed laser ablation in liquids represents a powerful tool for the generation of pure gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) avoiding chemical precursors and thereby making them especially interesting for biomedical ...

For the first time to the best of our knowledge, CeAlO3 nanocrystals with perovskite structure are synthesized by pulsed laser ablation technique. The morphological and optical properties of the obtained CeAlO3 nanocrystals ...

Background: Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) can act as carriers for therapeutic molecules such as drugs and genetic constructs for medical applications. The triggered release of the molecule into the cytoplasm can be ...

Polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PcBN) is the second hardest material after diamond. Because of its unique properties, PcBN is extensively used as a cutting tool material for the machining of hardened steels. Pulsed ...

An electrum-quartz pebble with a weight of 10.4μg was discovered in a cliff of Saalian glaciogenic sediments on the west coast of the German North Sea island of Sylt in 2012. It has a roundish water-worn appearance and ...

Recent research has revealed that image-based methods can enhance accuracy and safety in laser microsurgery. In this study, non-rigid tracking using surgical stereo imaging and its application to laser ablation is discussed. ...

Within this work the ablation behaviour of both carbon and glass fibre reinforced epoxy resin was assessed when ablated by a nanosecond-pulsed laser source emitting radiation in the ultra-violet spectrum. The investigation ...
