The boundary between the ocean and the atmosphere, where the air and sea interact, is known as the sea surface microlayer. Understanding how nutrients, pollutants and organic matter are exchanged ...

A new theoretical study led by researchers at the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory has identified the microscopic mechanisms by which diamond surfaces affect the quantum coherence ...

Researchers ave developed a gentle, contact-free method to collect liquids and remove them from microscopic surface structures. The method uses vapor condensation to generate surface currents that ...

FTIR microscopy offers a strong method for detecting and characterizing contaminants, crucial for ensuring product safety and ...

Coherence Scanning interferometers are ideal for measuring the surface topography of fine structures. These versatile instruments are suitable for use in production and development environments, as ...

Surface metrology consists of the measurement of surface features such as roughness, regular patterns, irregularities, and waviness. The importance of this lies in the quality of materials and ...

Europe’s aviation regulator is initiating a research effort intended to address the risk of overruns caused by deficiencies in runway micro-texture, and explore the use of laser-scanning to establish ...
