A new theoretical study led by researchers at the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory has identified the ...

Researchers at the University of Konstanz have developed a gentle, contact-free method to collect liquids and remove them from microscopic surface structures. The method uses vapor condensation to ...

Researchers have developed a new machine-learning-assisted approach to optimize micro-electro-discharge machining (µ-EDM) of ...

Many modern technologies rely on microscopic elements, such as microchips in smartphones. The manufacturing process for these elements requires their surfaces to be exposed to different types of ...

Surface metrology consists of the measurement of surface features such as roughness, regular patterns, irregularities, and waviness. The importance of this lies in the quality of materials and ...

Europe’s aviation regulator is initiating a research effort intended to address the risk of overruns caused by deficiencies in runway micro-texture, and explore the use of laser-scanning to establish ...

Micro-organisms constitute a very antique group of living organisms which appeared on the Earth's surface almost 3000 million years ago.
