Until about 10 years ago, the force test and measurement industry had been fairly unimaginative. It had developed a standard way of building analog load cells, torque transducers and other devices, ...

Researchers with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California Berkeley have measured what is believed to be the smallest force yet recorded – 42 yoctonewtons, or a ...

Laser power measurement and force metrology are interlinked disciplines dedicated to quantifying the interaction between light and matter. In contemporary research, these fields have evolved from ...

Bruker’s UMT TriboLab™ test system has the ability to accurately and reliably perform such precision measurements across wide displacement (µm to mm) and force (mN to kN) ranges. This extraordinary ...

COPIAGUE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mark-10 introduces the Series F family of force testers for quality control and process monitoring in fabrication and assembly operations. The Series F family ...

Interface manufactures thousands of standard force measurement products every year, all expertly designed by engineers.

Scientists have developed a new atomic force microscopy (AFM) technique that can measure the three-dimensional force fields of atoms. In their technique, the precisely controlled tip of a mechanical ...

The piezoelectric sensors operate according to the piezoelectric effect: electric polarisation occurs upon mechanical deformation of crystals with polar axes. Depending on the cross section, in quartz ...

For the first time, scientists have measured the force it takes to move individual atoms on a surface. This fundamental measurement provides important information for designing future atomic-scale ...

Atomic dipoles: the Van der Waals force between atoms is measured at last. (Courtesy: iStockphoto/Nicemonkey) Scientists in France are the first to make a direct ...
