7 Factors to Consider While Buying an Electrospinning Machine
Electrospinning is a versatile nanofiber fabrication technique wherein a polymer solution is charged and ejected from a spinneret under a high-voltage electric field. As the polymer is ejected, the solvent evaporates, and a fine jet of polymer forms, which elongates and solidifies into nanofibers upon reaching an oppositely charged or grounded collector. The resulting nanofiber […]

Applications of SEM in Semiconductor Device Failure Analysis
Failure analysis (FA) is an essential methodology that engineers use in the development process of semiconductor devices, like the CPU found in your smartphone or laptop. It involves the application of multiple analytical tools to isolate the root cause of a particular failure mode to prevent it from happening in the future. Failure modes describe how a device is failing by not meeting a certain electrical, mechanical, or visual specification.
Decoding the Best Phenom SEM for Your Needs
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is an incredibly adaptable analytical method that generates high-resolution images by scanning a focused electron beam across the surface of a sample. Inside the SEM instrument, a range of detectors captures various signals produced during the interaction between the electron beam and the sample, enabling the visualization of surface microstructure and elemental composition. Compared to optical microscopes, the exceptional resolving capacity of SEMs establishes them as an essential instrument across numerous industries, particularly those working with functional materials.
Igniting Young Minds: How Whitesboro High School Brought Nanotechnology to Life
Imagine being able to visually explore the nanoscale structures of bugs, pollen, cells, minerals, and more. To zoom thousands of times closer than the naked eye and study intricate details spanning just billionths of a meter. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is a versatile tool which makes use of an electron beam to scan the surface of a sample to make this vision an achievable reality. Making sense of such small scales requires grasping dimensions exponentially smaller than our direct experience, and an SEM provides a powerful lens to explore these landscapes.

10 Reasons to Use Electrospinning
Electrospinning is a voltage-driven material fabrication process that can be used to produce micro to nano-scale fibers. The electrospinning process is a combination of interacting electric, hydrodynamic, and surface tension forces resulting in “electrohydrodynamic phenomena” which affect the electrospinning solution as a high voltage is applied. The most common basic setup involves a spinneret, high voltage source, material (e.g., polymer) in solution within a reservoir, and a grounded or charged collector.
