A new process for precision perforation of material layers – Innovation Origins
A nano-structuring method for precisely perforating one layer of material while leaving the other layer completely untouched
Scientists at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) in Austria have succeeded in a new feat: They have developed a method that allows them to perforate certain layers of material precisely while leaving others completely untouched. Is it just art? No, this could be interesting for the production of data storage devices.
It’s actually pretty obvious: You can’t shoot a bullet through a banana, perforate the skin and leave the banana undamaged. But at the level of ultra-thin atomic layers …
