Manufacturing is continuously evolving from concept development to methods and tools
available for the production of goods for use or sale. Traditionally, manufacturing refers to an …

Wetting behaviors of structured metal surfaces have received considerable attention due to
the wide range of applications for commercial, industrial, and military uses as well as …

Additive manufacturing (AM) is pushing towards industrial applications. But despite good
sales of AM machines, there are still several challenges hindering a broad economic use of …

Because of the small sizes of most viruses (typically 5–150 nm), standard optical
microscopes, which have an optical diffraction limit of 200 nm, are not generally suitable for …

Laser polishing is a technology of smoothening the surface of various materials with highly
intense laser beams. When these beams impact on the material surface to be polished, the …

Ultra-fast femtosecond (fs) lasers provide a unique technological opportunity to precisely
and efficiently micromachine materials with minimal thermal damage owing to the reduced …

Despite being relatively new, laser-induced graphene (LIG) has undergone a number of
evolutionary practical leaps that have inspired a wide range of applications in the …

Orientations of laser induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) are usually considered to
be governed by the laser polarization state. In this work, we unveil that fluid dynamics …

Modern ultrafast lasers are enabling better operative performances in micro and nano-
fabrications of materials, benefited from their ease of use, robustness, and reliability. The …
