It is highly critical to establish whether metal components are well lubricated with oil or clean during the manufacturing process. In-compartment grazing angle specular reflectance enables performing ...

Determining whether the metals components are clean or are adequately lubricated with oil is often important in a manufacturing process. Infrared analysis of tiny, flat pieces can be readily performed ...

Figure 1: Colloidal crystals on curved oil–glycerol interfaces. The topology of surfaces 21 places a constraint on the total defect charge—for example the net charge on a sphere must be 4π, as ...

Inefficient fluid machinery used in the energy and transportation sector are responsible for greenhouse gas emissions and the resulting global warming. To improve efficiency, it is necessary to ...

Quarterly of Applied Mathematics, Vol. 72, No. 4 (December 2014), pp. 731-745 (15 pages) An analytical approach is proposed to study the contribution of edge effects in the multiple high-frequency ...

The twisted spirals made in this work exhibit interesting, tuneable superconductive properties. Courtesy: S Jin Researchers have found a way to grow layers of two-dimensional (2D) materials with ...

A murmuration of starlings. The phrase reads like something from literature or the title of an arthouse film. In fact, it is meant to describe the phenomenon that results when hundreds, sometimes ...
