Transparent aluminum oxide (TAlOx), a real material despite its sci-fi name, is incredibly hard and resistant to scratches, making it perfect for protective coatings on electronics, optical sensors, ...

The Callisto™ Sample Prep System uses advanced electrowetting technology that allows for precise droplet control through electric and magnetic manipulation of liquids on an open surface.

“The technique relies on a special effect called ‘electrowetting,’ where an electric field changes the properties of a liquid droplet, allowing precise control over the anodization process,” it added.

In contrast, the researchers’ approach uses microdroplets of acidic solution and an electric current, leveraging the "electrowetting" effect to precisely control the anodization process.

The process, termed “droplet-scale anodization,” relies on the phenomenon known as “electrowetting,” in which an electric field alters the properties of a liquid droplet. Such precise control over the ...
