👉Did you know it is exactly 333 days until we meet again? Fast facts one can find in the article about the evolution of vacuum coating: 🌟 First industrial use - Thomas Edison was among the pioneers in using vacuum coating industrially for his cylinder records. 🎶 📉 Significant reduction in capacitor size - Bosch's zinc coating process in 1935 reduced capacitor size by half, a major technological leap. 🔋 📈 Advances in AR coatings - Monarch Cutler's calculations, assisted by Richard Feynman, were foundational in understanding and applying multilayer AR coatings. 🌈 🌌 Use in astronomy - John Strong's aluminized coatings on telescope mirrors vastly improved their resolving power, crucial for astronomical discoveries. 🔭 And don't forget NEXT WEEK we hope to see you at the Fourteenth International Conference on Fundamentals and Industrial Applications of HIPIMS 2024 (HIPIMS 2024) in Sheffield, UK, from 24-27 June. #Technology #Innovation #Science #Engineering #VacuumCoating #MaterialsScience #Optics #Astronomy #Electronics #Research #Development #IndustrialRevolution #TechConference #AdvancedMaterials #ARCoatings #ThinFilmTechnology #MultilayerCoatings #Invention #Discoveries #FutureTech #SVC #TechCon #HIPIMPS
