PI (Physik Instrumente) provides a wide selection of high-precision fast steering mirrors. Two types are available: piezoelectric tip/tilt mirrors and voice-coil-driven units. While piezo-driven mirror mounts provide extremely high resolution and responsiveness, voice-coil drives achieve larger angles.
When powder coating is applied on surfaces other than classical metal substrates, a challenge rises.
To preserve life on earth, there need to be efficient purification methods that can separate impurities from water and air.
In a paper published in Nature Communications, the synthesis of monolayer nanosheets of NiFeB hydroxide was presented. The study highlighted the effectiveness of boron in enhancing the production of high-oxidation-state nickel for enhanced oxygen evolution reactions.
