Japanese lacquer, known as urushi, is a traditional natural resin used for numerous applications, including tableware, art and furniture. The main component of urushi is urushiol, which is a catechol ...

German scientists have investigated the role of surface texturing in perovskite-silicon tandem cells and have found that several new processes offer the ability to etch smaller, more uniform textures ...

Textured surfaces are found in everyday products, from steel body panels and bearings to book covers and quilted toilet paper. Although a number of processes can be used to achieve the desired surface ...

Cutoff filter measures the wavelength at which the surface structure is distinguished between waviness data and roughness. Appropriate selection of the correct filter cutoff in software is important ...

Cutoff filter is capable of measuring the wavelength at which the surface structure is differentiated between roughness and waviness data. For precise measurements, it is very important to choose the ...

When it comes to creating surfaces, it's a simple task to either make ones that are smooth or ones that are bumpy. But now researchers at MIT have created one that can be both. The 3D-printed surface ...

Europe’s aviation regulator is initiating a research effort intended to address the risk of overruns caused by deficiencies in runway micro-texture, and explore the use of laser-scanning to establish ...

Researchers utilize laser surface texturing to enhance metal-polymer bonding, driving innovations in sustainable and fuel-efficient vehicle design The study focused on specific LST patterns, including ...

1. Cilllia software leverages the micron resolution of an Autodesk 3D-printer to generate hairy and texturized surfaces. MIT’s Tangible Media Group presents intuitive software that enables 3D-printing ...
