THE compensation method of obtaining the birefringence of an object seen in a polarizing microscope requires the evaluation of the optical path-difference produced by a known thickness. In elongated ...

Handling irregular, delicate, or heavy objects remains a persistent challenge for both industrial automation and frontline ...

With an estimated diameter in the 320 to 350 km range, (704) Interamnia is the fifth largest main belt asteroid and one of the few bodies that fills the gap in size between the four largest bodies ...

For nearly 20 years, physicists and engineers have chased the idea of invisibility. Early efforts focused on hiding objects from light using so-called metamaterials with extreme and often unrealistic ...

1 We use a grid- and simulation-based approach to extend point pattern analysis to deal with plants of finite size and irregular shape, and compare the results of our approach with that of the ...

Regular shapes are shapes where the lengths of the sides are equal, as well as the inside angles. Irregular shapes are not so simple; their sides and angles are not the same size. Some examples of ...

Any object 12mm or larger is detected with the Reflex Array’s 50mm detection height, regardless of object properties or position within the array—including clear materials, says the vendor. The WL27-3 ...
