Alternate title: Interactions Between Light and Matter. Warning: Light and matter are both seriously complicated stuff. I am going to try and simplify this whole thing a bit so that everyone can see ...

Researchers made nanoporous SiO2 coatings for ultraviolet laser optics, achieving uniform large area films and higher damage ...

Scientists in China developed a method for preparing porous SiO2 materials by combining electron beam co-evaporation with selective chemical etching. Based on this method, all-silica ultraviolet laser ...

A project at NIST has developed a new way to monitor and assess 3D printing of metals. Finding and correcting defects inadvertently created inside a 3D printed part is one of the biggest challenges ...
