New hybrid nano-microscope by KRISS allows simultaneous measurement of optical and electrical properties. Expected to accelerate nano-scale research on advanced equipment and materials such as bilayer ...

Historically, polymer materials were characterized solely by their bulk properties including stiffness, elongation, gas permeability, impact and modulus. Because the bulk polymers were essentially ...

The development of a new measurement technology is probing the structure of composite and biological materials. In their quest to understand more about bio-polymers, they developed the rheometer and ...

Fiber-reinforced composite materials of a polymer matrix that have been reinforced with carbon, fiberglass or synthetic fibers are used increasingly in the construction of materials for the aerospace, ...

Thanks to research being conducted at the California Institute of Technology, regular microscopes could soon be capable of much higher-resolution imaging. Instead of making changes to the microscopes’ ...
