Testing System Measures Materials at 0.5-mg Forces

The ultra-low-force materials testing machine, the FlexTester, measures the mechanical properties of materials at forces down to 0.5 mg. The unit can generate force-displacement curves in tension, compression or flexure. It can also test in both vertical and horizontal orientations with typical actuator strokes of 5 mm with 1-nm resolution. MTESTQuattro controller and software offers precise closed-loop force or displacement control, data acquisition, real-time plotting and generating reports. Specimen baths and light microscopes can be supplied for testing hard-to-see specimens in solutions. Uses include the testing of sensors, optical lenses, adhesives, fibers, tiny micro-electromechanical system-based flexures, and more.

Then, Now, and Tomorrow
Looking back and seeing how previous technology predictions fared over the intervening years to now is always interesting. In April 1997, John Gibbons issued “A Report to the Congress-Science and Technology Shaping the Twenty-First Century,” which mostly focuses on S&T accomplishments without stating any future goals...continue
