The Pi Mobile In-Process system is a state-of-the-art dynamic image analyzer incorporated into its analysis module and a portable battery-operated control unit on a tether. This system is perfect for ...

Particle characterization is the process of measuring various properties of particles, such as size, shape, surface area, or other physical or chemical properties. Characterization is done using a ...

Granular metamaterials made of staple-shaped entangled particles interlock into load-bearing structures without adhesive, ...

A novel omics-like method referred to as “particle morphomics” has been proposed in the present study. The dynamic images of >2,000,000 particles per sample in sediments, soils and dusts were ...

As a river cuts through a landscape, it can operate like a conveyer belt, moving truckloads of sediment over time. Knowing how quickly or slowly this sediment flows can help engineers plan for the ...

(Phys.org)—Phase transitions are transformations that occur between states of matter—that is, between solid, liquid, gas, and less commonly between gas and plasma. What may be surprising is that solid ...

Scientists in the US have utilized the Polaris supercomputer to generate the most detailed ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. Most of the coverage of this adopts the framing of talking about this ...

Rock fragments are common encountered in geotechnical engineering, particularly in contexts such as slopes from large-scale excavations, underground mine goaf areas, and fault breccia zones. The ...
