There are a number of methods of making carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and fullerenes. Fullerenes were first observed after vaporizing graphite with a short-pulse, high-power laser, however this was not a ...

A close-up view of the hole-making process shows the Ingersoll Hi-Feed Deka face mill producing chips, partway through a complete hole. The tool withstands the lateral and impact forces associated ...

In an industry historically reliant on experienced craftsmanship, dome cutting has finally evolved. This process that once ...

A purely mechanical method can produce a novel, more sustainable fertiliser in a less polluting way. That is the result of a method optimised at DESY's light source PETRA III. An international team ...
