Surface roughness can be evaluated by visual appearances and tactile sensation and can be measured using a numerical scale. A surface condition is often described based on its smoothness, shine, as ...

Anyone who has slipped on a polished floor or felt their tires spinning in the snow knows instinctively the importance of ...

This study presents useful findings on how the transient absence of visual input (i.e., darkness) affects tactile neural encoding in the somatosensory cortex. The evidence supporting the authors' ...

Image Credit: Pixel B/Shutterstock.com Irregularities present on a surface are often described as surface roughness or texture. These surface textures such as grooves and dimples impart friction, ...

Niobium is commonly used due to its relatively high critical temperature (Tc ≈ 9.25 K), large superconducting energy gap (1.41 meV), low kinetic inductance, and smooth surface finish ...

The SJ-220 portable surface roughness measuring instrument has touchscreen and wireless capabilities. The intuitive touchscreen has a user interface that supports fingertip operations, including ...
