Dry run testing of hydropower systems in the lab
Power engineers can now gauge and improve the reliability and resiliency of complex hydropower systems without getting their feet wet.
Understanding stress vs strain in materials
The recent implosion of the Titan submersible has brought up the discussion about material strength and how it is measured.
Portable printed sensor simplifies water pollution monitoring
The low-cost, 3D-printed sensor detects very low concentrations of pesticides in water.
A technique to cut metal testing complexity
Metal cutting coupled with high-speed photography and new data analysis techniques offers an accessible method to explore metal behavior under extreme conditions.
Raman lidar goes underwater to monitor oil
The system can remotely distinguish various substances underwater, and can measure the thickness of oil up to 12 m away.
Ear as effective an identifier as fingerprint: Study
The research was conducted to validate a technique called Cameriere's ear identification method, which relies on measurements and ratios of various sections of the ear including the helix, antihelix, concha and lobe.
Sensor chip speeds disease diagnostics
The device can detect many disease pathogens with 10 times the sensitivity of currently available methods.
New instruments further standardize single cell analysis workflow
The systems bring portability to any laboratory in instruments that deliver accurate, reproducible results.
Flexible sensors stretch greenhouse gas detection capability
Simple to produce and scalable, the flexible photodetector covers the full spectrum of greenhouse gases without the need for complex optical components.
Digital microscope simplifies cell culture checks
A new digital transmitted light inverted microscope for routine cell culture enables laboratory personnel to easily check and document cell growth.
METCASE’s TECHNOMET instrument enclosures now with flat or sloping front panels
These desktop/portable instrument enclosures can now be specified with or without a sloping front for easier viewing.
Ghost imaging captures 3D images on a microscopic scale
The method effectively captured 3D images of microscopic items by probing 4 mm by 4 mm by 600 µm cubes with terahertz radiation.
Imaging the impact of COVID-19 on the brain
A new form of magnetic resonance imaging provides the clearest picture yet of human brain changes wrought by COVID-19.
Water disinfection in 60 seconds
A recyclable metallic powder quickly inactivates waterborne bacteria when exposed to sunlight.
OGP unveils new floor model SmartScope E45 multisensor metrology system
A fully telecentric optical system provides super high-resolution images, perfectly suited for video edge detection metrology.
Enhanced Raman mapping of ferroelectric material properties
An advanced microscopy technology facilitates analysis of the arrangement and fluctuation of electric polarization in ferroelectric materials.
Watch how this autosampler simplifies bioprocess data acquisition
Automated storage of samples in a predefined location is realized with the aid of bioprocess control software in a scheme that reduces the risk for human error.
Measuring thermal expansion in solids
To understand thermal stresses, one must examine thermal expansion. Heat added to a material increases the vibrations in the atoms, causing them to take up more physical space. Therefore, the material actually grows in size as it is heated.
Magnetic bacteria pull uranium from water
A type of bacteria present in most aquatic environments has been demonstrated to remove uranium from contaminated water.
A botanical fix for pharma pollutants in wastewater
A plant-based metal organic framework efficiently captures and degrades pharmaceutical molecules found in local municipal wastewater.
