Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory are developing a way to control the Casimir force, a quantum mechanical force which attracts objects when they are only a hundred nanometers apart.
The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) is proud to announce an important milestone in the history of crystallography - the archiving of the 500,000th small molecule crystal structure to the Cambridge Structura...
The new BUP200 sheet metal testing machine was developed in response to new materials with higher strength properties and associated ductility behavior, together with increasing demands on component quality. The machine now provides punching and clamping forces up to 250 kN and, with its new and fresh design, the BUP200 completes the successful portfolio of sheet metal testing machines up to 1000 kN.
Zwick has developed a robotic testing system to carry out standard-compliant testing of steel dumbbell specimens. Testing to EN 10002 and ASTM E8, it features extremely quick, reliable operation whilst relieving the operator of laborious handling of heavy specimens up to 10 kg.
The new lightXtens extensometer from Zwick is the perfect solution for accurate, reliable extension measurement in tensile tests on highly ductile, highly elastic and contact-sensitive materials such as elastomers, latex and all types of foils and films.
Pharmaceutical science researchers at Monash University in Australia, are using the FT4 universal powder tester from Freeman Technology to investigate novel techniques for improving the flow properties of excipients for inhaled product formulation. The team, led by Dr David Morton, has recently published work describing the use of optimised dry coating techniques to enhance the flow of fine lactose particles.
Researchers from the University of Tours (INSERM U618) in France are using a Spraytec laser diffraction particle size analyzer from Malvern Panalytical to study nebuliser performance in real time. By understanding how aerosol concentration and droplet size vary during an inhalation cycle, the group expects to be able to develop new devices with better drug delivery characteristics.
As physicists strive to cool atoms down to ever more frigid temperatures, they face the daunting task of developing new, reliable ways of measuring these extreme lows. Now a team of physicists has devised a thermometer that can potentially measure temperatures as low as tens of trillionths of a degree above absolute zero.
An ultra-high-resolution imaging technique using X-ray diffraction is a step closer to fulfilling its promise as a window on nanometer-scale structures in biological samples. In the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers report progress in applying an approach to "lensless" X-ray microscopy that they introduced one year ago.
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have discovered a new, more precise method for measuring how much - or how little - nanoscale interfaces love water.
