Hollow nanosized needles, or nanostraws, are a promising tool for opening up tiny, temporary holes in cell membranes to deliver molecules or sample a cell’s contents. Nanostraws could also deliver ...

Surface plating is widely used to repair or salvage critical components in the marine industry. As many components need disassembly, the repair process is typically carried out when the ship is in dry ...

Scientists have combined 3-D-printing with electroplating to easily produce high-quality metal electrodes that can be used as a molecular beam-splitter. Many measurement techniques, such as ...

Stainless steel, an iron-carbon alloy containing chromium and other metals, has a wide range of applications, including cookware, building materials, and medical implants. Due to its biocompatibility ...

Electroplating is a technique that uses an electrical current to deposit a thin layer of metal onto a surface. It is widely used across industries to enhance material properties, such as durability, ...

The process that makes gold-plated jewelry or chrome car accents is now making powerful lithium-ion batteries. Researchers have developed a method for electroplating lithium-ion battery cathodes, ...
