A new device and technique have been developed by National Institute of Standards and Technology researchers for measuring "breakdown" voltage -- the voltage required to produce electrical arcs when ...

Researchers have demonstrated a way to manufacture minuscule closed containers that might be used to deliver precise micro- or even nano-quantities of drugs. First the scientists create flat patterns, ...

This press release is available in German. At the Photonics West, the leading international fair for photonics taking place in San Francisco (USA) this week, Nanoscribe GmbH, a spin-off of Karlsruhe ...

Three-dimensional printers are popping up everywhere these days. Some are small enough to fit in a briefcase and others are large enough to build print houses, but scientists at the Vienna University ...

Electrical engineers at Duke University in the US have developed a new printing technique to create fully functional, recyclable electronics. Interestingly, the technique could enable printing of ...

This is a robust one pan balance with an iron and marble base, and a tag on front that reads “The / Micrometer / Balance / Scale Co. / Troy, N.Y. / Patented Nov. 22 – 1892 / Mar. 22 – 1898 / Jul. 21 – ...

Researchers have built microscopic machines—complete with working gears, racks, and pinions—that run entirely on light. The study, published recently in Nature, marks the first time engineers have ...

IN the May issue of Watson's Microscope Record, J. A. Lord pleads for the inclusion of a scale of measurement on each published photomicrograph, so that a visual estimate of the size of the objects ...
