A new ultrasonic test method can acquire high-resolution shale data in the lab by using new geometries for sample testing with specialized equipment suited for measuring shale formations at reservoir ...

Laser-driven thermoviscous flows provide contact-free rotation, transport or stabilization of delicate samples such as ...

If your audio fidelity experience has only been in the form of CDs, MP3s, or lower-quality streaming services (such as Spotify and YouTube Music), you may be missing out on some audio bliss. There’s a ...

Although cryo-electron microscopy is a powerful method for determining the structures of nanoparticles and biological molecules, it still faces challenges. For example, sample movement can cause image ...

Behold the highest-resolution image of atoms ever taken. To create it, Cornell University researchers captured a sample from a crystal in three dimensions and magnified it 100 million times, doubling ...

Over 50 years ago, the first commercially available SEM was unveiled. Yet, to this day no internationally accepted standard exists for the determination of SEM resolution. Further, to confuse matters ...

Advances in architecture and integrated-circuit (IC) design techniques have allowed analog-to-digital converter (ADC) manufacturers to push the state-of-the-art in sample-rate, resolution, and power.
