Abstract: To meet the needs of three-dimensional (3D) measurement and to achieve the high-precision fitting of the central axis of a screw thread, this study performed complex processing of the 3D ...

Measure the thickness of a sheet of paper or the diameter of a human hair. This simple version of a micrometer caliper will allow you measure things that are too small to measure with commonly ...

North Carolina State University engineers have unveiled a light-powered soft robot that rolls along aerial cables like a microscopic tram, lugging payloads more than a dozen times its own mass and ...
