Manchester Pint of Science
Patrick spoke at the Manchester Pint of Science event at Terrace NQ. Linking the first photograph to nuclear bombs, the Matrix movie and helicopters that appear not to move, he described the use of picosecond “movie-making” to understand energy processes in photosynthesis and nanolasers.
New Publication – Direct laser write process for 3D conductive carbon circuits in polyimide
Bryce Dorin has had a paper accepted for publication in the Journal of Materials Chemistry C, on Direct laser write process for 3D conductive carbon circuits in polyimide.
Using a femtosecond direct-laser-writing technique, Bryce demonstrated 3D writing of conductive pathways in polyimide, a stable insulating material. Through optical and processing optimization, he was able to contact a single Ag nanowire embedded within a solid (at a polyimide/Epoxy interface), providing the possibility for electrical contacting of single nano-objects embedded with a protective solid.
He is now developing this technique to make contact to randomly dispersed active electronic devices.
