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, ...

Researchers with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California Berkeley have measured what is believed to be the smallest force yet recorded – 42 yoctonewtons, or a ...

Mechanical forces generated by cells not only drive the bending, stretching, alignment, and repositioning required for tissue development and homeostasis, but also regulate cell functions ranging from ...

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 ...

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 ...
