Larson Davis HMV200 for Human Vibration Measurement
When people are exposed to mechanical vibration, the forces caused by these vibrations can affect the human body. This effect is referred to as human vibration. What is human vibration and why is the measurement of it important?
White Noise May Improve Learning, According to Study
According to researchers, white noise — background noises at the same volume but different frequencies, for instance, the sound of a passing jetliner or the ocean — can enhance learning performance.
Mystery Behind the Electron Structure Defects in Graphene Finally Solved
University of São Paulo’s Physics Institute (IF-USP) researchers have finally resolved a longstanding controversy regarding defects in graphene that has haunted the international research community for years.
Cost Savings in Process Environments with MECO Split Seals
Traditional seals often require the disassembly of large machines just to install them — a labor-intensive process that causes downtime and a corresponding hit to the bottom line. A fully split seal, in comparison, eliminates the need to remove the bearing or drive transmission, saving time, eliminating radical disassembly and re-assembly and reducing expensive downtime.
Innovative Exrail Linear Roller Guide from Nippon Bearing
Nippon Bearing has developed the Exrail linear roller guide, an innovative linear motion guide that uses needle rollers as opposed to balls or rollers.
Researchers Develop a Chemical Detector the Size of a Shoe Box
University of Michigan researchers have developed a chemical sensor prototype that can detect “single-fingerprint quantities” of substances from a distance of more than 100 feet away. The developers are currently working on shrinking it to the size of a prototype.
Exair’s Large Atomizing Spray Nozzle Covers 360 Degrees
Exair's 1/2 NPT internal mix 360-degree hollow circular pattern atomizing spray nozzle atomizes fluid and sprays away from the nozzle in all directions, covering up to 13 feet in diameter.
Rapid Pipeline Can Create Antimicrobials in a Week
DARPA challenged researchers to figure out how to make at least 1,000 doses of any known pathogen in a week.
New Research on 3D Printing Proves How Metals Can Be Strong and Ductile
A new technique to 3D print metals involving a widely used stainless steel has been shown to achieve exceptional levels of strength and ductility when compared to counterparts from more conventional processes.
How Does Reverse Engineering Work?
Reverse engineering is a process that takes an existing product and examines it to determine detailed information and specifications in order to learn how it was made and how it works.
