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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

What is an Actuation Test? An actuation test measures the process that occurs when a mechanical device operates. For example, the release of a hairspray aerosol, a liquid soap hand pump, an inhaler ...

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 ...
