Engineering experts have proposed a novel technique to measure the cell traction force field and tackle the research gap. The interdisciplinary research team used single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers ...

Laser Doppler vibrometers (LDVs) measure vibrations in ways that other sensors can't. From large aircraft structures to microscopic MEMS sensors, and vacuum enclosures to red-hot mills, LDVs measure ...

Researchers built a prototype fiber optic gyroscope (pictured) for high resolution, real-time monitoring of ground rotations caused by earthquakes in an active volcanic area. The fibers are precisely ...

Did you know that, at a certain point on a moving wheel... there's no motion? Did you know that, at a certain point on a moving wheel... there's no motion? I mean, kinda... it's all relative, right?
