UK-based sputtering technology firm Plasma Quest has a prototype system that could dramatically increase sputtering deposition rates and cut down-time. Sputtering is used to deposit a wide variety of ...

In the electronics industry, thin metal films are deposited on silicon wafers with a sputter gun, which uses energetic ions - atoms with a positive charge - to knock the metal atoms off a target.

China’s EAST reactor just broke a fundamental fusion limit—bringing the dream of ignition a big step closer. shutterstock.

The Hummer 6.2 Sputtering System by Anatech is a vacuum coating instrument used for applying thin, uniform metal coatings to samples, often for scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It operates through ...

In reactive sputtering process with an Ar + O₂ gas mixture, the plasma emission observed near the cathode changes in appearance. When the oxygen content is high, the plasma exhibits a reddish-violet ...

Researchers working on China's fully superconducting Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) have experimentally ...

Researchers using China’s “artificial sun” fusion reactor have broken through a long-standing density barrier in fusion ...

[Nixie] wants to sputter. We know, who doesn’t? But [Nixie] has a specific purpose for his sputtering: thin-film deposition, presumably in support of awesome science. But getting to that point ...

You may have known lithium from its role in rechargeable batteries, but did you know it may be a vital in fusion reactors? These reactors require walls that don’t sputter out metals or overly cool the ...
