In many industries, laser diffraction is used to perform routine particle size analysis. The power of laser diffraction is such that it has started to replace conventional techniques, such as sieving.

The solidity of concrete, the taste of chocolate, or the solubility of drugs – these are just a few examples of chemical or physical material properties which are affected by particle size. Thus, the ...

A new cross-linking method creates 3-micron membranes with angstrom-scale pores, boosting efficiency in flow batteries by overcoming selectivity-permeability trade-offs. (Nanowerk News) Polymeric ...

The exponentially increasing implementation of renewable energy systems, such as wind and solar energy, are urgently demanding the development of large-scale energy storage devices with flexibility, ...

Without a sieve or a mill, pharmaceutical tablet manufacture is almost impossible. These are required whenever active and inactive materials are handled, when tablets or other products are made.

The author discusses the use of analytical sieving to determine the size distribution of granular and course powders and describes proper sieve construction and USP General Test {786&#125. Get the ...

The first few days of walking to and from the site are beginning to take their toll on the group. I think that jet lag is also catching up with a few. Chris Montague, archaeologist, has developed some ...
