Nov 24, 2020 (Nanowerk News) Ordinary solid-state lasers, as used in laser pointers, generate light in the visible range. For many applications, however, such as the detection of molecules, radiation in the mid-infrared range is needed. Such infrared lasers are much more difficult to manufacture, especially if the laser radiation...

Nov 23, 2020 (Nanowerk News) A research team from the Center for Design, Manufacturing and Materials at Skoltech has recently published a study in Composite Structures ("Self-diagnostic carbon nanocomposites manufactured from industrial epoxy masterbatches") focusing on multifunctional materials created through the addition of carbon nanoparticles to polymer matrices, designed to...
