The term "ALD" was first used around 2000. This technique achieves atomic layer control and conformal deposition through successive, self-limiting surface reactions. It involves introducing chemical ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Every surgical procedure, from routine appendectomies to complex organ transplants, relies on a technology that has remained fundamentally unchanged for thousands of years: the ...

For plastics manufacturing, petroleum refining, food and biofuel production and numerous other core chemical manufacturing processes, heterogeneous catalysts are crucial. Thermal degradation or ...

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a bottom-up nanofabrication deposition method that technically falls within the remit of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) methods; but it has become well-regarded as a ...

AZoMaterials spoke to Dr. James Trevey, CTO of Forge Nano, about how atomic layer deposition works, how the technology is maturing, and how it can be commercially adopted. Forge Nano was originally ...

(Nanowerk News) Inside an operating nuclear reactor, the environment is extreme, as reactor components are exposed to a combination of intense radiation and heat as well as chemically reactive coolant ...

For telescopes operating in the vacuum of space, or optical equipment in extreme environments, existing coatings are often insufficient. Researchers have turned to atomic layer deposition and ...

Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) and thin film technologies have become indispensable in modern materials science thanks to their ability to achieve angstrom‐level control over film thickness and ...

Dutch equipment supplier SALD has announced delivery of a spatial atomic layer deposition system to an unnamed customer in the United States. The tool will be used in the pilot-scale production of ...
