Laser-based manufacturing and materials processing technology has proven to be a well-established and cutting-edge technology ...

The surface of a material plays a pivotal role in determining its mechanical properties (e.g., friction and wear), the interaction with the environment (e.g., wettability), optical appearance, ...

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 ...

Femtosecond laser treatment could improve infrared photodetectors, solar cells and field emission displays. Laser-textured germanium (Ge) could lead to a new breed of high-performance photodetectors, ...

Researchers from Purdue University have created a new laser treatment method that has the potential to turn any metal surfaces into a rapid bacteria killer by giving the surface a different texture.
