The components of high-quality lasers can be made of many different materials. Many high-power and solid-state lasers use ceramic materials to generate a laser beam and are seen as an alternative ...

Researchers have demonstrated a new technique that uses lasers to create ceramics that can withstand ultra-high temperatures, with applications ranging from nuclear power technologies to spacecraft ...

A consortium including the UK's Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) is offering services via a new flexible-access pilot line for organic LED (OLED) production. Known as "Lyteus", the service is an ...

The word 'ceramics' is derived from the Greek keramos, meaning pottery and porcelain. The opaque and translucent cement and clay often used in tableware are not appropriate for optical applications ...

Conventional laser cutting is based on rapid heating leading to vaporization and material removal. This process is not only slow, but it also leads to unwanted micro cracks and a rough surface finish.
