  Washington DC (SPX) Jan 19, 2018 For the first time, researchers have shown that an optical fiber as thin as a human hair can be used to create microscopic structures with laser-based 3D printing. The innovative approach might one day be used with an endoscope to fabricate tiny biocompatible structures directly into tissue inside the body. This capability could enable new ways to repair tissue damage. "With further development our technique could enable endoscopic microfabrication tools that would be valuable during surgery," sai ... read more |

 Cordoba, Argentina (SPX) Jan 19, 2018 
Porous materials contain intermolecular spaces or cavities between atoms. Because these cavities, known as pores, can store and even separate molecules, such materials are of great value in the field of nanotechnology. Already of unquestionable importance in industrial applications, there is still some scope for improving the properties of porous materials.
According to a study published i ... more |
