The new LED micrometer works with a significantly improved ... for detecting contamination or foreign bodies on the measuring surface. This function helps to avoid measurement errors and to ...

Materials scientists are measuring the rolling friction of tiny, micrometer-sized particles. These measurements permit them to better understand everyday products such as concrete.

ETH Zurich scientists measure rolling friction in micrometer-sized particles, enhancing understanding of suspensions in ...

When tiny metal particles fly at supersonic speeds and hit a surface, they can stick together and form strong bonds. This process is used in industries like 3D printing and cold spray coating to build ...
