To further improve the technique's <strong>sensitivity</strong>, scientists must design better scattering surfaces, and more effective ways of evaluating them. http://www.huliq.com/65384/killer-pulses-help-characterize-special-surfaces#comments Science sensitivity surfaces Thu, 31 Jul 2008 00:15:38 -0500 harminka 65384 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/46936/nists-new-approach-surface-profiling Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a novel technique for measuring the roughness of <strong>surfaces</strong> that is casting doubt on the accuracy of current procedures. http://www.huliq.com/46936/nists-new-approach-surface-profiling#comments Science carmakers Surface Profiler surfaces Thu, 10 Jan 2008 14:10:30 -0600 harminka 46936 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/28214/gel-and-polymer-coated-surfaces-stick-together Two surfaces stick together, separate, and stick together again—on command. This discovery by a team of researchers from the Universities of Sheffield (UK) and Bayreuth contradicts our day-to-day experience. In the animal kingdom, geckos can climb up vertical inclines, displaying an incredible switchable adhesion as they do so. http://www.huliq.com/28214/gel-and-polymer-coated-surfaces-stick-together#comments Science animals environmental factors polymers surfaces Wed, 25 Jul 2007 07:14:26 -0500 harminka 28214 at http://www.huliq.com
