There’s a form of third-party validation that no marketing department can manufacture: the methods section of a peer-reviewed paper. When a research team publishes in Nature Communications or the Journal of Power Sources, they document every piece of equipment they used: the make, the model, the operating parameters. They have to. Reproducibility requires it. Other…
In materials research, laboratory equipment plays a vital role in generating thin film coatings that exhibit the most desirable properties, whether conductive, functional or protective. Bringing a new product to market requires developing processes that are precise and repeatable in the laboratory phase, but can also be scaled to production level. What Is Ultrasonic Spray…
For decades, industrial spray coating has been defined by three fundamentally different approaches to liquid atomization. Pressure spray nozzles force liquid through a small orifice at high velocity, relying on turbulence and shear forces to break the stream into droplets. The more commonly used air spray nozzles force compressed air to shear a liquid stream…
Understanding the Photoresist Challenge in MEMS and Semiconductors Semiconductor manufacturing is the art of drawing precise patterns onto silicon. These patterns are measured in microns and nanometers, and are repeated billions of times across a wafer no larger than a dinner plate. The process that makes this possible is called photolithography, and it works like…
The Critical Role of Flux in Through Hole PCB Assembly Printed circuit boards, or PCBs, are platforms that hold electrical components in place. They help route power and signals, turning collections of individual chips and resistors into the fully-realized phones, laptops, cars, industrial machinery that are the backbone of modern society. A chemical process called…
Drug-eluting and functional coatings play a critical role in modern medical devices, enabling localized therapeutic delivery, advanced sensing capabilities, and improved biocompatibility. As devices become smaller, more intricate, and more specialized, manufacturers require coating technologies that deliver uniform, reproducible layers onto complex geometries while preserving the integrity of sensitive drugs, polymers, and functional materials. Ultrasonic…
