Behind The Bounce: The Mechanical Properties of Your Tennis Ball
Tennis players of all levels know that the right ball can make or break your game. But how do different balls compare, and how can manufacturers reliably measure these differences?
Rheology is Brewed: The Battle of the Coffees – Colombia vs. Brazil
Grab your favorite mug and get ready for a caffeinated clash of titans! We all know that coffees produced in different regions are distinct; like wine, the taste will vary with soil, climate, and altitude. Some of our lab members are partial to the distinct flavors from Colombia and Brazil when it comes to their cups of coffee.
Don’t Let Bad Rheology Data Burn You
Summer is all about sunshine, pool days, and of course — sunscreen. But while most people are focused on SPF and water resistance, we’re here to talk about something just as important (and way more fun if you’re a science nerd): rheology.
Coffee Powder Rheology
Coffee lovers know that the grind size and roast degree of coffee beans can significantly impact the flavor and texture of their favorite beverage. But did you know that these factors also affect the rheological properties of coffee powders?
The Importance of Reliable Mixing in ITC Experiments
ITC is the most sensitive method for characterizing binding interactions, revealing critical attributes like drug efficacy and stability. But without proper mixing, ITC data is unreliable and unusable. Great ITC experiments start with correct mixing.
Rheology is Maza: Unveiling the Secrets of Flowing Rangoli Colors
Powders are a big part of everyday life, from baking and laundry to cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Understanding powder rheology—how powders flow and deform—is crucial for optimizing their use in various applications. This knowledge helps industries maintain consistency and product quality.
How to Accelerate Successful Product Development with Rheology
Rheology is a notoriously complex field, combining mathematics and physics to characterize materials. For inexperienced users, rheology can seem like a massive challenge. Luckily, new technology simplifies rheology down to its core so you can get essential measurements without difficult training, measurements, or calculations.
RS-DSC: The Ultimate High Throughput DSC for Rapid Screening
Discover the RS-DSC from TA Instruments, the ultimate high throughput DSC for rapid thermal analysis. Learn more about its precision, speed, and capabilities.
What Your Material Specification Sheet Doesn’t Tell You
When it comes to selecting materials for your next innovative product, the material specification sheet is likely the first place that you will turn. This document provides core properties measured by the manufacturer and serves as an essential tool for supplier verification and new product development. However, while these sheets are reliable and provide a standard method for comparison, they often fail to tell the whole story.
Linear Viscoelastic Region: Why It’s Crucial in Materials Testing
Our world is brimming with viscoelastic materials: The dough you knead before baking a fresh loaf, the Silly Putty your toddler slaps against the wall, the rubber gaskets that create an airtight seal on an airplane door. Testing those materials by applying controlled deformations (strains) or forces (stresses) at various timescales, temperatures, and/or humidities allows for the optimization of properties and ensures durability and safety.
Why DSC Testing is a Critical Step in Developing Biosimilar Drugs
Biologic therapies derived from living organisms have revolutionized the treatment of complex diseases, yet their high development costs are often passed onto patients. Biosimilar drugs offer a promising solution to reduce costs while maintaining therapeutic efficacy. Unlike generic drugs, biosimilars cannot be exact replicas of their reference biologics due to their complex structures, necessitating rigorous testing and regulatory approval.
