A revolutionary microscopy technique, invented at the University of Nottingham, which can image the microscopic elasticity of engineering materials is set for global use after being adopted by US company Coherent Photon Imaging (CPI).
Many materials are made up of thousands of small crystals. The size, shape, and stiffness of these are essential to the material’s performance. In real engineering materials, such as aero engine components, the stiffness of these crystals previously hasn’t been able to be measured, but could only be identified from specially prepared single crystals, which…
