Until about 10 years ago, the force test and measurement industry had been fairly unimaginative. It had developed a standard way of building analog load cells, torque transducers and other devices, ...

Bite force, a measure of the strength of an animal's bite, helps researchers understand a species' role in the ecosystem.

The Series M240 ICP Strain Sensors and Model 410A01 ICP signal conditioner use piezoelectric sensing elements to indirectly measure dynamic and quasi-static stress forces on machinery structures. M240 ...

For the first time, scientists have measured the force it takes to move individual atoms on a surface. This fundamental measurement provides important information for designing future atomic-scale ...

Bruker’s UMT TriboLab™ test system has the ability to accurately and reliably perform such precision measurements across wide displacement (µm to mm) and force (mN to kN) ranges. This extraordinary ...

Laser power measurement and force metrology are interlinked disciplines dedicated to quantifying the interaction between light and matter. In contemporary research, these fields have evolved from ...

Atomic dipoles: the Van der Waals force between atoms is measured at last. (Courtesy: iStockphoto/Nicemonkey) Scientists in France are the first to make a direct ...

Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a measure linked to California’s new police use of force law. It sets statewide “best practices” and training for law enforcement. (See our full coverage of the Stephon ...

With a National Rifle Association lobbyist at his side, Gov. Jeb Bush signed a law Tuesday to make it clear that people have a right to meet “force with force” to defend themselves on the street. The ...
