The terahertz (THz) frequency regime, sitting between microwaves and infrared light, has long promised revolutionary advances in wireless communication, security imaging and nondestructive sensing. A ...

Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) are heavily employed in the field of soft robotics because they exhibit the such programmable reversible shape changing and anisotropic mechanical response. But new ...

ABB has been awarded a contract by the Canadian Space Agency to carry out the conceptual development (Phase A) of the Thin Ice Clouds and Far InfraRed Emissions (TICFIRE) instrument. TICFIRE is an ...

In a bit of ominous news befitting a Friday the 13th: It turns out that the asteroid Apophis could have a very small chance of colliding into Earth in five years, when it is expected to make a close ...

In the realm of nanomechanical techniques, AFM is ideally suited to measuring soft materials because of its sub-nanometer vertical displacement accuracy and piconewton force resolution. One of the ...

Asteroid Bennu proved a trickster for NASA's OSIRIS-REx asteroid explorer, rewriting everything scientists had thought about space rocks. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

While nanoscale structural imaging of cells is now possible, a direct recording of chemical composition of these domains is lacking. Here we overcome this challenge by first analytically modeling the ...

Abstract: For a space-based radar system with hybrid baseline, the problem of clutter angle-Doppler spectral broadening poses a significant challenge to clutter cancellation in the terrain fluctuant ...

Developing high-strength continuum robots can be challenging without compromising on the overall size of the robot, the complexity of design and the range of motion. In this work, we explore how the ...

To measure the rheological properties of your sample with a rotational and oscillatory rheometer requires determination of the torque and deflection angle of the measuring bob. Your sample provides ...
