There are numerous analytical methods for establishing the surface roughness as well as the visualization of surface texture. Each of these methods has its own advantages and disadvantages. The ...

Irregularities present on a surface are often described as surface roughness or texture. These surface textures such as grooves and dimples impart friction, which is the force between two sliding ...

Being able to quantify a surface finish is both a complex and necessary task. While surface topography relates to a three-dimensional property, the most accepted surface measurement parameter is ...

Fresh research probes the relationship between the surface texture of food – which will influence its visual appearance – and expectations of how healthy that product is. Previous research has ...

Stanford researchers have developed a flexible material that can quickly change its surface texture and colors, offering potential applications in camouflage, art, robotics, and even nanoscale ...
