Measuring particle size distribution during the grinding process

A further step toward a stable measurement method for nanoparticles used in industry

26-Jul-2024 - How pharmaceuticals act, how efficient catalysts are and how effective and accurate printing inks function all depend on the size of the nanoparticles they contain. However, there are as of yet no methods for monitoring the particle size distribution during grinding processes. In the EU-funded ...

Scientists count microscopic particles without microscope

11-Aug-2016 - Scientists from Russia and Australia have put forward a simple new way of counting microscopic particles in optical materials by means of a laser. A light beam passing through such a material splits and forms a characteristic pattern consisting of numerous bright spots on a projection screen. The ...

Jet engines to become cleaner in future

Swiss innovation for measuring particulate emissions from aircraft engines

01-Mar-2016 - Since the 1980s, large aircraft engines have been required to meet emission limits that have been gradually tightened over time. Air traffic, therefore, contributes relatively little to Switzerland's pollution levels, and visible smoke trails in the sky from jet engines are a thing of the past. ...
