This poster describes how NPL is establishing the calibration procedures that are required to conduct accurate indentation measurements at elevated temperatures.
Piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) is an invaluable tool for measuring the piezoresponse of functional materials at the nanoscale, allowing for high resolution measurements of the electromechanical coupling of thin films.
The C. elegans nematode is one the most widely studied model organisms in biological research and is routinely used to investigate the development and functioning of the nervous system.
Miniature CMMs are ideal for high accuracy tactile measurement of sub-millimetre scale features on centimetre and millimetre-sized objects to sub-micrometre accuracy. Current efforts to enhance the capability of miniature CMMs are focused on the development of new probing systems.
A team of scientists from NPL and the University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust have successfully completed an initial trial of a new, potentially more reliable, technique for screening breast cancer using ultrasound
NPL has developed a laser-based acoustic mapping technique, collaborating with PMC loudspeakers to adapt the technique into a valuable design tool.
The NPL Zeiss Auriga 60 focused ion beam scanning electron microscope (FIB-SEM) is a major facility for 3D microstructural characterisation of materials.
Photoelectrochemical activity screening of dyes on TiO2 surfaces is becoming increasingly relevant as industry tries to expand commercialisation of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs).
Extrinsic polar structures, like domain walls, interfaces, grain boundaries, defects, polar nano-regions, can significantly change macroscopic properties of dielectrics, like energy density.
The growth of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) has led to a rapid increase in the commissioning of new cyclotron facilities for the production of PET radionuclides.
We describe a method of traceably calibrating source or receiver Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) contributions for Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) waveform using a Real-Time Digital Oscilloscope as the reference receiver.

Light microscopes have a resolution limit of around 250 nanometres (nm), which means anything smaller will appear blurred.
