The capability of acoustic microscopes to image and analyze internal features, including structural defects, recently has been enhanced by technology that puts any number of acoustic microscopes in ...

Most automated quality inspection technologies involve machine vision systems and, increasingly, aspects of artificial intelligence-powered software to speed the identification of part defects. But ...

The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation has awarded Keji Lai, an associate professor of physics at The University of Texas at Austin, a prestigious Experimental Physics Investigators Initiative grant.

Traditional ultrasonic imaging systems usually transmit broadband ultrasonic pulses through the full sample volume under study. By analyzing these pulses, researchers can measure sample thickness, ...

Ultrasound’s sensitivity to material interfaces makes it useful in screening plastic-encapsulated microcircuits (PEMS) and other components used in the assembly of medical electronics products. The ...
