The concept of measuring surface roughness originated nearly a century ago as a means to prevent uncertainty and disputes between manufacturers and buyers. Now, it has become a common identifier used ...

Surface roughness refers to the condition of processed surfaces. Irregularities present on the surface of the object determine the texture and appearance of the surface, which plays a significant role ...

New research finds the missing link between soft surface adhesion and the roughness of the hard surface it touches. The key to this foundational discovery is a close look at the rough surface itself ...

Medical implants are devices created to replace, help, or improve a failing biological structure. Often, they are produced as prosthetics to replace missing limbs and body parts. Another common use of ...

As transistor dimensions within integrated circuits continue to shrink, smooth metallic lines are required to interconnect these devices. If the surfaces of these tiny metal lines aren't smooth enough ...

New research has shed light on how the preparation of carbon nanotubes can impact their surface roughness, and, therefore, their properties and suitability for biomedical applications. Here, we ...

A recent study published in Advanced Materials Interfaces examined how surface roughness impacts the performance of superconducting resonators—key components in quantum computing systems. The research ...

The SJ-220 portable surface roughness measuring instrument has touchscreen and wireless capabilities. The intuitive touchscreen has a user interface that supports fingertip operations, including flick ...
