THE behaviour of a neutron-irradiated substance in thermal annealing is known to depend on the temperature and on the period of heating. Normally, the retention reaches a saturation value after a ...

New technique allows greater integration of synthetic diamonds, improving how both quantum and conventional electronics are ...

Microwave annealing yields similar results as compared to rapid thermal annealing, they found. The use of microwave radiation leaves the rest of the laminated panel of glass, plastic and aluminium ...

if the €99.00 PocketPCR thermal cycler takes hold. PCR amplifies DNA in a three-step process: denaturation, which melts double-stranded DNA into single strands; annealing, which lets small ...

A few years ago, FLIR unleashed a new line of handheld thermal imagers upon the world. In a manufacturing triumph, the cheapest of these thermal imaging cameras contained the same circuitry as the ...

When grains are smaller, there are more grain boundaries, and the ferroelectric phase is more likely to appear. In this group’s process, rapid thermal annealing at 400C for 60 seconds reduced the ...

In a recent study, researchers developed high-temperature platinum thin-film resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) using ...

This important work shows how a simple geophysical setting of gas flow over a narrow channel of water can create a physical environment that leads to the isothermal replication of nucleic acids. The ...

While there are plenty of budget rifle scopes, the technology behind thermal scopes used to be prohibitively expensive. This made them available only to those with deep pockets and big budgets ...

Thermal means heat. Decomposing is the process of breaking down. Thermal decomposition is a chemical reaction that happens when a compound breaks down when heated. When sodium hydrogencarbonate is ...
