A chemical etching method for widening the pores of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) could improve various applications of MOFs, including in fuel cells and as catalysts. Researchers at Nagoya ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill.-- Smaller and faster has been the trend for electronic devices since the inception of the computer chip, but flat transistors have gotten about as small as physically possible. For ...

Once a printed circuit board (PCB) has been assembled it’s rather hard to look inside of it, which can be problematic when you have e.g. a multilayer PCB of an (old) system that you really would like ...

In circuitry, etching is used to remove the deformed layer created during the grinding and polishing of metal components by selective chemical attack. Now, a research group at Nagoya University in ...

Semiconductors are a crucial element of electronic equipment, allowing for advancements in telecommunications, computers, biotechnology, weapons technology, aviation, renewable energy, and a variety ...

Notably, these properties can be maintained even at the atomic scale. Meanwhile, these properties also pose challenges in achieving highly precise and smooth etching of HFO2 films. Now, a group of ...
