Fagre predicts that within 30 years most if not all of the park's namesake glaciers will disappear. "Things that normally happen in geologic time are happening during the span of a human lifetime," ...

In a breakthrough, researchers show that a material called indium selenide can “shock” itself to transform from a crystalline ...

Engraving can be performed on materials such as glass, stone, anodized aluminum, steel (with a laser engraving coating ... It tends to melt and is messy to cut. It also releases trace amounts ...

Researchers at Heriot-Watt University have developed a revolutionary new technique to weld glass to metal. They are using an ultrafast laser system ... piece of metal and melt some glass onto ...

Plenty of materials take the heated edge of a laser ... glass or, better yet, with a nice honking Fresnel lens from an old-school HDTV (thanks Jen!), we can focus the sun’s light down to a point ...

researchers have had to turn to soft glass fibers, which require a complete re-evaluation of the fiber laser development process due to their high thermal expansion, low melting points ...

As a non-contact subtractive manufacturing method, ultrafast laser processing plays an important role in the fabrication of glass microstructures. The extremely high peak power density and short ...

Laser welding of plastics is now a convenient ... Joining thermoplastics involves heating the material in the welding zone above its melting point so that it becomes plasticized.

Indium alloys are very useful for soldering surface mount (SMT) components and parts with gold, ceramic, quartz, or glass base materials. It features a low melting point of around 157° C (314.6° F).

delay/ laser on time, and hard pull strength. One important consideration for the use of the P-2000 is the diameter of the glass used. The P-2000/G is designed to produce even heating on glass up ...

Chocolate melts at about 35°C. We say that chocolate has a higher melting point than ice. Solids and liquids can be changed from one state to another by heating or cooling. Heat melts a solid and ...
