Dielectric mirrors, also referred to as Bragg mirrors, reflect light nearly completely. Hence, they are suited for various applications, such as camera systems and sensor systems for microscopy and medical technologies. So far, such mirrors have been produced by complex processes in expensive vacuum devices. Researchers from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) now are the first to print Bragg mirrors of high quality with inkjet printers. This may pave the way towards the digital manufacture of customized mirrors. Research results are published in Advanced Materials.
DuPont (Wilmington, Delaware) recently announced the launch of a new brand, Micromax, that will encompass the products formerly under the Microcircuit and Component Materials brand. Micromax products are used in a wide variety of electronics applications—from automotive, passive components, and 5G communications to healthcare and consumer goods.
It is one of the most modern road tunnels in Europe, saves thousands of commuters the stop-and-go through Rostock's city centre every day and, with the RFID Windshield Label by Schreiner PrinTrust (Oberschleißheim, Germany), has an automatic payment system that has proven its worth for a decade now.
