When it comes to creating surfaces, it's a simple task to either make ones that are smooth or ones that are bumpy. But now researchers at MIT have created one that can be both. The 3D-printed surface ...

Textured surfaces are found in everyday products, from steel body panels and bearings to book covers and quilted toilet paper. Although a number of processes can be used to achieve the desired surface ...

A novel manufacturing strategy of 7-axis synchronization on-the-fly laser surface texturing, proposed by Harbin Institute of Technology researchers, enables ...

Adopted by the CSDA and recommended by ACI Committee 310, ST-115 is a quantifiable standard that designates floors by a surface texture grade. Since the moment polished concrete was born, it was ...

Scientists have developed technology to make metallic replicas of soft, natural surfaces such as rose petals. The team's metallic surfaces retained properties of the originals, including a rose ...

Keeping work surfaces clean during meat processing is a challenge. Bacteria from meat can attach, grow, and build up to create a biofilm that is difficult to remove, even on stainless steel surfaces ...
