Researchers at the University of Colorado have recently developed a new technique to measure mechanical motion using simultaneous electromechanical amplification and cooling processes. Their method, ...

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have developed a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) cell-stretcher that can measure the mechanical properties of a living cell, such ...

Human red blood cells (RBCs) are extremely resilient and have the capacity to undergo cellular deformation as they navigate across various micro-vessels and capillaries. Over their 120-day normal ...

Physicists have developed a fast and sensitive mechanical tool to measure light. The graphene nanomechanical bolometer is the fastest and most sensitive in its class. It is poised to detect nearly ...

(A) Details on the protocol for mounting a silica bead onto a flat-tipped cantilever. (B) The procedure for securing leptomeninges on the AFM measurement plate for analysis. The meninges act as a key ...

Two groups of physicists – one in the US and one in Europe – have developed two different techniques to create and measure quantized mechanical oscillations. The research has fundamental implications ...

Measuring mechanical loads typically requires load sensors that can be costly or physically inaccessible. The new Fluke 438-II Power Quality and Motor Analyser uses innovative algorithms to analyse ...
