Swedish scientists have created the thinnest gold leaf ever - 'goldene'. The new 2D material has unique properties, including semiconductor behavior and catalytic potential, which could open doors for future advancements in materials science and technology.

Mark, Adam and Aphrodite sit down this month to discuss the history of battery technology. From the ‘Baghdad Battery’ to conceptual ‘air batteries’, Goodfellow’s hosts cover applications from hearing aids to electric aircraft. You can get involved with the conversation on social media, or email marketing@goodfellow.com with any questions or topics you have for the next podcast episode.

Plasma treatment, UV/Ozone treatment, chemical treatment, and surfactant treatment can be used to increase the hydrophilicity of COC and improve its microfluidic performance. Goodfellow’s microfabrication division Potomac Photonics offers a range of technologies to support your microfluidic product development. Contact us today to discuss your application.

Silicon wafers serve as a fundamental component in various technologies and, following our acquisition of Potomac Photonics, we're leading the charge in their manufacturing and optimization. This industry front-runner has made significant strides in refining techniques for precise feature creation and hole drilling in silicon wafers, which includes wafer dicing and detailed patterning for diverse applications.

DuPont’s Kapton polyimide is a high-performance polymer renowned for its electrical insulation, mechanical strength, and resistance to extreme conditions. It is essential in industries like medical, biotech, electronics, aerospace, and automotive. This blog post explores Kapton’s diverse applications and highlights how Goodfellow division Potomac Photonics excels in laser micro machining Kapton, providing rapid contract manufacturing and full-scale production services.

Rapid prototyping of new products is only successful if the rapid part of the term is met. With the internet available on multiple fast platforms, split-second delivery systems, and demands for instant gratification, companies in biotech, microfluidics, micro-electronics and consumer products can’t wait for a long prototyping process.  They need prototypes, rapidly!

Have you ever wondered how science affects the clothes you wear? In this episode, Mark and Aphrodite talk with Victoria Mataczynski, co-founder of Nanoloom, discuss how they are using graphene to develop an innovative yarn for the production of apparel. Together, the three discuss the benefits of using this groundbreaking science to produce the next generation of clothing.

In the field of microfluidics, our expertise at Goodfellow sets a standard. We specialize in the art of laser drilling precise small holes in glass slides and coverslips, a critical capability for the fabrication of microfluidic devices. These devices play a pivotal role in various scientific, pharmaceutical, and medical diagnostics applications, demanding not just skill but a deep understanding of the intricate needs of microfluidics.

Solar cells are devices that convert energy from the sun into electricity without the use of any mechanical parts. Sunlight is made up of small energy particles known as photons, which can be absorbed into semiconductor material in a solar cell. Inside the solar cell, the energy from the photos is converted into electrical energy.
