The Pi Mobile In-Process system is a state-of-the-art dynamic image analyzer incorporated into its analysis module and a portable battery-operated control unit on a tether. This system is perfect for ...

As most powder granules in the industry have irregular shapes, the question posed does not have a straightforward answer. Industry, as a rule, circumnavigates the problem by deciding a single size, or ...

A novel omics-like method referred to as “particle morphomics” has been proposed in the present study. The dynamic images of >2,000,000 particles per sample in sediments, soils and dusts were ...

As a river cuts through a landscape, it can operate like a conveyer belt, moving truckloads of sediment over time. Knowing how quickly or slowly this sediment flows can help engineers plan for the ...

(Phys.org)—Phase transitions are transformations that occur between states of matter—that is, between solid, liquid, gas, and less commonly between gas and plasma. What may be surprising is that solid ...

Bedload transport modelling in rivers takes into account the size and density of pebbles to estimate particle mobility, but does not formally consider particle shape. To address this issue and to ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. Most of the coverage of this adopts the framing of talking about this ...
