High Concentration Particle Sizing
Achieve unprecedented resolution and accuracy with the AccuSizer FXPAT. a high concentration single particle optical sizer that has the sensitivity to detect small differences between particle size distributions. The FX (0.6 - 20 µm) is a new breed of particle size monitor designed to go from the laboratory to the process line with minimum system reconfiguration. Learn more>>>


Quality Standards Issued For Testing Herbal Products
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued the first suite of Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) in a planned series of reference materials for botanical dietary supplements. Manufacturers can use these materials for quality control, and researchers can use them to ensure that their laboratory analyses of supplements are accurate. Products such as botanical supplements that have been derived from extracts of plant materials are challenging to analyze accurately because of their complex sample matrices. more>>>

Frictionless Motion Observed in Water
By using ultra-short laser pulses to spin a cyanide molecule like a propeller, chemists at the University of Southern California and Brown University have achieved the first known demonstration of near-frictionless motion in water. Although the discovery has no immediate practical use, says USC chemist Stephen Bradforth, "it impacts how we think about the vast majority of chemical reactions"--90 percent of which take place in liquid solutions. more>>>

Control Company’s new Infrared Thermometer Gun takes instant, less-than-a-second, temperature readings of any surface. Unique design permits one-handed "point and shoot" readings. Laser-sighting beam permits aiming precisely at target surface. Ideal for food preparation, pharmaceuticals, field use, electronics, and safety inspection. Learn more>>>


Scientists Observe Solitary Vibrations in Uranium

Los Alamos scientists, working with collaborators from around the world, recently observed experimental evidence of solitary vibrations (solitons) in a solid. First observed as localized waves on the surface of water more than a century ago, the concept of solitons in solids was only theorized as possible two decades ago. The results of their discovery of random localized vibrations in a 3-D solid will add new knowledge to the field of solid-state physics and could have implications for other areas of science and technology. more>>>
