The Hummer 6.2 Sputtering System by Anatech is a vacuum coating instrument used for applying thin, uniform metal coatings to samples, often for scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It operates through ...

UK-based sputtering technology firm Plasma Quest has a prototype system that could dramatically increase sputtering deposition rates and cut down-time. Sputtering is used to deposit a wide variety of ...

[Nixie] wants to sputter. We know, who doesn’t? But [Nixie] has a specific purpose for his sputtering: thin-film deposition, presumably in support of awesome science. But getting to that point ...

A one-step plasma sputtering method for fabricating silicon/tin nanowire anodes could open doors to next-generation lithium-ion batteries Many countries have set decarbonization targets to meet the ...

You may have known lithium from its role in rechargeable batteries, but did you know it may be a vital in fusion reactors? These reactors require walls that don’t sputter out metals or overly cool the ...

Scientists have developed a powerful new kind of sputter process for the electronics industry -- and for other, more exotic applications, including use in outer space -- which deposits high-quality ...

Violent solar storms can blast a surprisingly large amount of material off the surface of the moon, according to a new NASA study. Researchers used computer simulations to examine how sun storms and ...

Solar storms and associated coronal mass ejections (CMEs) can significantly erode the lunar surface, according to a new set of computer simulations by NASA scientists. In addition to removing a ...
