It's a layer of polymer, a thin layer of polymer that also forms a cup, fits exactly into this acetabulum piece.
To create the pliable e-skin, the engineers cured a thin layer of polymer on top of a silicon wafer.
How it works: The wing is made from an open, lightweight lattice framework that is covered with a thin layer of polymer material.
In the 2000 version of the spacecraft, a parabolic mirror on the bottom of the craft focused the laser pulses onto a layer of polymer, vaporizing it and providing the upward thrust.
CoStar releases the drug from a polymer in wells drilled in the metal struts of the stent, while the Taxus releases the drug from a layer of polymer on the stent's surface.
To build the circuit, the researchers draped a single nanotube on a silicon wafer over three parallel gold electrodes, added a layer of polymer between two of the electrodes and then sprinkled some potassium atoms on top.
That was achieved by leaving a thin layer of polymer to coat the surface before depositing the layer of nanocrystals on top of it.
The printhead moves across a horizontal surface (the print bed) in a prescribed pattern, depositing one layer of polymer at a time.
The FP sensors were made by coating a thin layer of polymer on a silicon wafer.
The resulting mould is pressed into a layer of polymer, and the trenches created in the polymer are filled with platinum.
Both systems use a gentle near-infrared laser to partially melt an adherent layer of polymer film over selected cells; these cells can then be mechanically transferred with the film for analysis or further culture.
