As one does I found myself browsing, one thing led to another, and I bought a micrometer screw gauge. While micrometers are pretty expensive devices, reflecting their high precision engineering ...

Apples and carrots were the most contaminated fruit and vegetable, respectively, with over 100,000 microplastics per gram.

A simple, fairly accurate, and easily-made apparatus of the micrometer form may be constructed as follows: Get a common iron or brass bolt about y of an inch in diameter and about 2% inches long ...

A couple of years ago we published a look at precision measurement tools, in particular vernier calipers and micrometer screw gauges. It featured a look at how they work and how they’re used ...

OR you could just go out and purchase a tube micrometer / spherical anvil/spindle micrometer…. But a ball from a bearing is cheaper!Instagram: @jamsionlineFacebook: JAMSI OnlineTikTok: @ ...

Their technique is so precise it could be used to paint micrometer-scale features onto biopolymers. Possible uses include biosensors and diagnostics, where fine-tuned control of DNA self-assembly is ...

Richard Thompson, professor of marine biology at the University of Plymouth, aims to change that.

“Essentially, the devices in MagPatch are micrometer-sized coils or microcoils that can be implanted in the brain or in the ...

The advance could enable the development of compact 3D photonic integrated devices capable of processing large amounts of ...

Medical implants could fail less often when coated with a microscopically crinkled, ceramic material designed by researchers ...

Anything smaller than 1 micrometer is a nanoplastic that must be measured in billionths of a meter.Even vegetarians can't ...

“How much plastic will you have for dinner, sir? And you, ma’am?” While that may seem like a line from a satirical skit on Saturday Night Live, research is showing it’s much too close to ...
