Inspired by the remarkable camouflage abilities of octopus and cuttlefish, Stanford researchers have developed a soft material that can rapidly shift its surface texture and color at extremely fine ...

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 ...

Enhancing the critical heat flux (CHF) of industrial boilers by surface texturing can lead to substantial energy savings and global reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, but fundamentally this ...

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 ...

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 ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Bacterial pathogens can live on surfaces for days. What if frequently touched surfaces such as doorknobs could instantly kill them off? Purdue University engineers have created ...

Implant stability is critical in obtaining good long-term success of total joint replacements. Loss of either biological or cement fixation can lead to accelerated wear, pain, loss of function, or ...

Fresh research probes the relationship between the surface texture of food – which will influence its visual appearance – and expectations of how healthy that product is. Previous research has ...
