With the aim of making micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) even more powerful in the future, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology (ILT) in Aachen have developed a ...
Laser-induced crystallization in glasses is an emerging field that leverages highly localised heating to initiate and control the formation of crystalline phases within an amorphous matrix. This ...
Strain-induced crystallisation (SIC) is a pivotal phenomenon in natural rubber that underpins its exceptional mechanical properties. Under tensile deformation, the polymer chains align and crystallise ...
