Northwestern Engineering researchers have found new ways to directly solution process carbon nanotubes using just a cocktail of common solvents. Carbon nanotubes, cylinders made of one or more layers ...

Solution-processed transitional metal chalcogenide (TMD) nanosheets exhibited limited light-absorption and low quantum efficiencies because of their atomic-scale thicknesses and large specific surface ...

Even after 20 years or so, process control continues to be a confusing or misunderstood technology. A short description of process control is an accurate one—It’s a means of controlling manufacturing ...

At some point in our lives, we have dropped a drinking glass or knocked over a glass-blown knickknack, only to watch it hit the floor and shatter into pieces. We learn from any early age that glass is ...

As a R1 research university with roots in engineering, sciences, and business, we specialize in applied research: creating practical tools to address challenging problems and unearth opportunities.

As semiconductor devices become more complex and the critical particle size for today’s cutting-edge technology nodes falls into the sub-10 nm size range, controlling and mitigating potentially ...

Increased agility, flexibility, visibility, efficiency, productivity, safety — all are lofty goals that process manufacturing companies would like to attain. Yet, optimization in any of these areas is ...

We’ve all experienced painful processes. Maybe it was a process that made everyone on your team miserable. Perhaps a process made customers unhappy, or caused costs to rise and profits to fall.
