A line-shaped laser exposure breaks a metal layer into uniform seed islands, improving reproducible CNT germ zone size and spacing.
Variable activation energy changes nanoparticle polarization to switch surface wettability while improving coating strength and temperature resistance.
Femtosecond laser pulses reshape gold nanorod surfaces to form high-index crystal planes, boosting catalytic activity with simpler control.
Purified, aligned, and isotopically enhanced BNNTs increase nanotube friction for stable vibration damping from cryogenic conditions to 1900 K.
A bond coat and ytterbium disilicate top coat protect carbon-carbon composite brake parts from surface oxidation and oxidant ingress at high heat.
High-purity iridium nanopowder enables room-temperature pressing and baking to make seamless parts with lower energy use, losses, and brittleness.
