Heidelberg Instruments Introduces MLA Masskless Aligner Systems

Heidelberg Instruments significantly extends its leadership in manufacturing of direct write lithography systems with the launch of MLA Maskless Aigner series of systems. Low to mid volume lithography traditionally consist of creating designs with a CAD software, followed by fabricating or purchasing a photomask and finally using a mask aligner or stepper to transfer the pattern on to the photoresist. For high volume manufacturing of sub-micron design nodes, this traditional process is required.

Powerful Micro Ultrasonic Motor with One Cubic Millimeter Stator

Micro actuators are needed for numerous applications, ranging from mobile and wearable devices to minimally invasive medical devices. However, the limitations associated with their fabrication have restricted their deployment at the one-millimeter scale. The most common electromagnetic motors require the miniaturization of many complicated components such as coils, magnets, and bearings, and exhibit severe torque dissipation due to the scaling. Electrostatic motors enable excellent scalability by using microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology, but their weak driving force has limited their further development.

Controllable Microspheres Inserted as Flaws into Liquid Crystals

Introducing flaws into liquid crystals by inserting microspheres and then controlling them with electrical fields: that, in a nutshell, is the rationale behind a method that could be exploited for a new generation of advanced materials, potentially useful for optical technologies, electronic displays and e-readers. A team of scientists (including research fellows at the International School for Advanced Studies, SISSA, in Trieste) has just published a paper in the journal Physical Review Letters where they describe just how this approach works and provide the results of a computer simulation.

New Protocols for Optical Sectioning-3D Reconstruction Using Compound Fluorescence Light Microscope

Scientists require high-resolution imaging of plant cells to study everything from fungal infections to reproduction in maize. These images are captured with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), where an electron microscope focuses beams of electrons to increase magnification of objects. SEM is a common technique for all fields of science.

Essential Oil Nanoemulsions Hold Promise for Control of Foodborne Bacteria in Fresh Produce

Nearly half of foodborne illnesses in the U.S. from 1998 through 2008 have been attributed to contaminated fresh produce. Prevention and control of bacterial contamination on fresh produce is critical to ensure food safety. The current strategy remains industrial washing of the product in water containing chlorine. However, due to sanitizer ineffectiveness there is an urgent need to identify alternative antimicrobials, particularly those of natural origin, for the produce industry.
