Getting a smart tattoo without using any needleA tattoo that is warning you for too many hours of sunlight exposure, or is alerting you for taking your medication? Next to their cosmetic role, tattoos could get new functionality using intelligent ink. That would require more precise and less invasive injection technique. Researchers of the University of Twente now develop a micro-jet injection technology that doesn’t use needles at all. Instead, an ultrafast liquid jet with the thickness of a human hair penetrates the skin. It isn’t painful and there is less waste. In there new publication in the Journal of Applied Physics, the scientists compare both the needle and the fluid jet approach.Read more
Grant for spectral unraveling of EUV lithography light sourcesTogether with ARCNL in Amsterdam, the XUV Optics group at MESA+ has embarked on detailed spectral analysis of Extreme UV light sources, the so-called SUN project. SUN is an acronym of "Spectral Unraveling of EUV Lithography Light Sources", and aims to find a better understanding of EUV generation from laser produced plasmas. The XUV group focusses on the optical tools for visualizing the spectra, uniquely over a broad spectral range up to the NIR. For Twente this activity implies the development of novel broadband diagnostics, in a close collaboration with ASML in Veldhoven and San Diego. This is expected to reveal further physics mechanisms of EUV generation in the battle for bright and efficient light sources for EUV lithography.Read more
