Sneezes, rain clouds, and ink jet printers: They all produce or contain liquid droplets so tiny it would take several billion of them to fill a liter bottle. Measuring the volume, motion and contents ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The drawbacks of existing measures for calibrating scanning probe microscopes (SPMs) based on various diffraction gratings and periodic ...

The LumaSpec LS800S from Prior Scientific is a compact visible light spectrophotometer which provides quantitative spectral power data enabling users to characterize and monitor the illumination ...

Nanotechnology researchers at UC Davis have shown that they can use a red blood cell to calibrate a sensitive instrument, an atomic force microscope. "It turns around the rules of nanotechnology, by ...

Why is calibration important? How calibration techniques have changed over time. A timeline showing the evolution of calibration from the beginning would have to start hundreds of years ago (Fig. 1).

(Nanowerk News) The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) has developed a hybrid nano-microscope capable of simultaneously measuring various nanomaterial properties. This ...

Scientists at the Technical University of Denmark have created a novel microscope that substantially improves the measurement of heat flow in materials, according to a study published in Science ...

Scientists boost the accuracy of optical microscopes to image microdroplets in flight and apply the method to analyze the concentration of plastic nanoparticles. Sneezes, rain clouds, and ink jet ...
