Oxford Instruments Leading Development in Semi-Polar GaN Layer for Optoelectronic Devices

In the past decade, Group III-nitride materials have been widely used for visible and ultraviolet light emitting diodes and blue, violet laser diodes. Most of these optoelectronic devices are typically fabricated on the conventional polar (0001) c-plane oriented substrate material

Cellular Neural Networks (CNN) Technology Allows Instant Control Laser Welding

Car doors are usually assembled from several sections of sheet metal which are welded together by laser. The laser beam moves over the slightly overlapping sheets and melts them in a spot measuring several tenths of a millimeter, producing a so called full penetration hole that closes again when the laser beam moves on.

LCA Indicates Biodegradable Plastic from Plantic Saves Enough Energy to Power 2.5 Aussie Homes

Plantic
Technologies commissioned RMIT University, Melbourne, to undertake
a streamlined update of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of Plantic biodegradable
plastic packaging system compared with alternative polymers. The updated LCA
reveals that every tonne of Plantic® sheet purchased in place of petrochemical
polymers will save up to 2.5 tonnes of carbon dioxide (the average annual emissions
of a compact car) and enough energy to power 2.5 average Australian homes.
