Wetting is an everyday phenomenon that represents how well liquid spreads on a surface. When water comes into contact with an extremely water-repellent, or ‘superhydrophobic’ surface, droplets bead up ...

The performance, reliability and longevity of machined parts often depend on the physical characteristics of their functional surfaces. However, legacy surface roughness parameters, such as R a, are ...

There are numerous analytical methods for establishing the surface roughness as well as the visualization of surface texture. Each of these methods has its own advantages and disadvantages. The ...

Lithium-ion batteries charge and discharge because their lithium ions can move in both directions between positive and negative electrodes. Lithium-ion batteries have generally been used in a compact ...

Input and modulation of many different parameters are essential for other competitive ‘single measurement mode’ methods to produce better results on various surface textures in the same field of view ...

Electrical engineers have long been toying with the idea of designing biological molecules that can be directly integrated into electronic circuits. Researchers have developed a way to form these ...

A few months ago, I've written about the most powerful microscope in the world which was able to display images at an incredible high-resolution of just 0.05 nanometer (or 50 picometers). It seems ...

A fundamental question in olfaction is which odorant receptors (ORs) are activated by a given odorant. A major roadblock to investigating odorant–OR relationships in mammals has been the inability to ...

Today, a vast number of micro-manufactured sensors, actuators and components vibrate at frequencies in the high MHz range. Some examples of these high-frequency vibrating systems include surface ...

April 16, 2014. Mahr Federal announced it will introduce the MarVision MM 320 Video Measuring Microscope, the flagship product for a new line of Mahr optical measuring instruments, at MD&M East, June ...
