Probing subsurface materials via atomic force microscopy
A new nanoscience study, led by the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, takes a big-picture look at how scientists study materials at the smallest scales. Their research in subsurface nanometrology, the science of internal measurement at the nanoscale level, suggests quantum sensing could become the foundation for the field’s next era of discoveries.
New 3D measuring system for non-contact surface measurement
Marposs Inc., Auburn Hills, Mich., a provider of measurement, testing, and inspection equipment, announces the latest addition to its line of Industry 4.0 metrology solutions, the STIL MICROMEASURE 2 3D Measuring System.
Zentropy and the art of creating new ferroelectric materials
Systems in the Universe trend toward disorder, with only applied energy keeping the chaos at bay. The concept is called entropy, and examples can be found everywhere: ice melting, campfire burning, water boiling. Zentropy theory, however, adds another level to the mix.
Stabilizing precipitate growth at grain boundaries in alloys
Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have identified a novel pathway to stabilize the nanoscale precipitates in alloys.
