Creating complex structures at the tiniest scales has long been a challenge for engineers. But new research from Georgia Tech shows how electron beams, already widely used in imaging and fabrication, ...

Researchers have developed a new method for flexibly creating various needle-shaped laser beams. These long, narrow beams can be used to improve optical coherence tomography (OCT), a noninvasive and ...

As the name implies, the Short Beam Shear test subjects a beam to bending, just as flexural testing methods do, but the beam is very short relative to its thickness. For example, ASTM D 2344 1 ...

To build the world’s most cutting-edge nanotechnologies, engineers rely on lithography — a printing concept dating from the late 1700s that has evolved into an ultra-modern fabrication technology. Now ...

LONG AFTER technical innovations have been turned into successful commercial products, clever people continue to dream up ways to improve and refine the inventions. Automobiles, computers, and ...

Many researchers over the years have worked towards increasing data speeds, something that has had breakthroughs in various ways over the years. The latest one involves a method the creators say is a ...
