MADISON, Wis. – (January 21, 2014) – Materials scientists, engineers, and academic researchers can accelerate their research and understand materials in applications ranging from pharmaceutical ...

In this interview, Dr. Joshua Lea explores the role of the integration of Raman spectroscopy with SEM technology for advanced materials analysis. Can you introduce yourself and the topic you will be ...

Researchers from the Physical Chemistry and Theory departments at the Fritz Haber Institute have found a new way to image layers of boron nitride that are only a single atom thick. This material is ...

The melting of materials seems like a simple phenomenon. However, when their thickness is reduced to just a few atoms, established rules waver. In this two-dimensional mode, new states emerge ...

Piezoelectricity is a material’s capacity to transform mechanical energy (pressing) into electric energy (polarization) and vice versa. The word “piezo” derives from the Greek word piezein, which ...

AFAM operates by exciting the sample with ultrasonic waves while simultaneously probing the surface with an AFM tip. The ultrasonic waves cause the sample to vibrate, and the AFM tip detects these ...

At its core, SPM operates on the principle of measuring interactions between a sharp probe and the surface of a material. As the probe scans across the surface, it detects variations in physical ...

The filter material to analyze particulate matter with Raman or FTIR microspectroscopy plays a vital role. Their simple task is to filter liquids to isolate solids onto filters – but as soon as you ...

In advanced manufacturing, ensuring the durability of critical components is central to the safety of several products across a wide range of industries, such as aerospace and automotive. Yet the ...
