Scientists at the University of Oxford demonstrate an approach to interpreting how materials interact with polarized light, ...

Elliptical retarder model improves polarization analysis for material design and biomedical imaging. The work, reported in Advanced Photonics Nexus, focuses on improving how researchers analyze a key ...

For heavy duty trucks like semis hauling lots of cargo over long distances, conventional friction brakes just can't do it on their own. To maintain safe speeds and prevent overheating on long descents ...

Semi-trucks are designed to carry heavy loads. That's why they're weighed on the road to ensure they do not exceed their limitations. So, when they're driving fast or going downhill, just using the ...

The automotive industry continues to be a hotbed of innovation, with activity driven by autonomous driving, connectivity, electrification and safety features, and growing importance of technologies ...

Vapor retarders are sheet materials used below slab-on-ground floors to limit the amount of moisture that migrates into and upward through concrete slabs. If unchecked, moisture can cause floor ...

1:54 Calls to prohibit engine retarder brakes in Devon The growling noise is most definitely not music to the ears of people who live along Highway 60 in Devon, about 20 km southwest of Edmonton.

The placement of a water vapor retarder directly below concrete floor slabs on the ground has become common practice for buildings where floor coverings or coatings are to be installed. Such use has ...
