IEEE Spectrum | While lithium-ion batteries have become a global standard, the need for batteries with higher energy densities is prompting more research into other promising battery architectures―one of which is lithium-based all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs), which are safer at higher energy densities because they have no flammable liquid electrolyte.
Electro Optics | Higher power lasers and ultrafast pulses are putting greater demands on the thin film coatings protecting the lenses in these systems. Most precision optics are still coated with evaporation techniques…. more
The right source for your thermal evaporation process will depend on many factors, such as the material you want to evaporate and the system you are using for your thin film process… more
