Rigaku Corp. recently announced the new sixth-generation Rigaku MiniFlex benchtop X-ray diffraction (XRD) instrument.

Micro- and nanoscale structures within a material’s surface are invisible to the naked eye, but play a big role in determining a material’s physical, chemical, and biomedical properties. Over the past few years, Chunlei Guo and his research team at the University of Rochester have found ways to manipulate those structures by irradiating laser pulses to a material’s surface.

JEOL USA recently introduced a new scanning electron microscope (SEM) that reportedly combines the performance of a field emission SEM with the simplicity of the JEOL InTouchScope™ SEM series.

Shimadzu Scientific Instruments recently announced the release of its new Nexis GC-2030 gas chromatograph.

MoistTech’s new IR3000 moisture sensor reportedly allows for instant, non-contact, continuous moisture measurement.

Rigaku Corp. recently announced its attendance at the 2017 Ceramics Expo, taking place April 25-27 at the International Exposition Center in Cleveland, Ohio.

The new NETZSCH GABO EPLEXOR HT series dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA) is reportedly designed for the thermomechanical characterization of ceramics, ceramic composites, glass, and metals that often require higher forces than traditional DMA tests.
