To levitate their microsphere, the researchers needed to overcome both gravity and the attractive van der Waals force that would otherwise keep the microsphere glued to the surface. They did this by ...

To gain a better understanding of why microsphere enhancement works for interference microscopy, Hüser’s team combined rigorous experimental measurements with new computer simulations. These included ...

Keratin microsphere gel, consisting of keratin-based microspheres that swell in water to form a gel, has shown efficacy in promoting hair follicle growth in murine models. Its potential ...

This product, the MSR™ MicroSphere Refiner, revolutionizes aseptic polymeric microsphere processing at various scales by addressing traditional manufacturing challenges through a Quality-by ...

Microsphere Technology Ltd. (MTL; Edinburgh, Scotland, U.K.) specializes in coating hollow glass microspheres with a variety of pigments and metals for specific applications. Typically, to coat a ...

Microsphere-assisted measurements also apply to biological and medical objects such as viruses and sub-cellular structures or for identifying blood cells. As a result, microsphere-assisted ...

Through experimentation with a newly created type of material, scientists in Russia have landed on a battery design with a number of promising performance benefits, in particular an ability to ...

Nouryon, the former AkzoNobel Specialty Chemicals, says it will build a microsphere plant at an undisclosed US location by late 2020. The thermoplastic microspheres are used as a lightweight ...

In addition, a geometric model is introduced for the microsphere-based spectral metrology system that can calculate the virtual image plane magnification and depth of focus, providing the optimal ...

The microsphere film expands under heat and pressure to produce a strong structural foam that also serves to dampen vibrations and noise. “It’s not just adding foam to an existing hollow racket.
