Printed circuit board assemblies can be reliably protected with parylene coatings. Protective thin-film and nano coatings are being incorporated into the manufacturing process to improve the ...

New spray-on, nanotech coatings could keep iPod screens from scratching, make paper products waterproof and perform other minor modern miracles. And because they are cheaper, easier to apply and more ...

Researchers from Egypt’s Beni-Suef University and the German University in Cairo (GUC) have proposed a dust mitigation technique for solar arrays in particularly dry, desert conditions. The method is ...

Soon you won’t have to worry about your phone falling in the toilet, tumbling into a puddle or someone inadvertently dribbling coffee into the headphone socket (we’ve all done it). British-based firm ...

University of Sheffield researchers developed a machine learning framework to improve coating properties in a roll-to-roll slot die coating process. The work is seen as an initial step toward broader ...

Mobile phones could be made completely waterproof thanks to a new kind of nano technology. It works by covering your phone with a special nano layer that is thinner than a single strand of hair. The ...

It may sound like something out of a science-fiction movie, but researchers have developed an engine that is just a few billionths of a metre in size. Researchers at Cambridge University have created ...
