Vacuum technology is used in a wide range of industries, and proper use depends on accurate measurement devices, or gauges. Vacuum gauges work by detecting changes in pressure and converting those ...

Cool idea: NIST’s Daniel Barker, Steve Eckel, Jim Fedchak, Julia Scherschligt and colleagues have developed and tested a technique that uses cold atoms to measure ultralow pressures. (Courtesy: NIST) ...

Freeze drying, also known as lyophilisation, is a common method of preservation used in many products, from the fresh herbs and vegetables that top store-bought pizzas to the instant coffee in our ...

Vacuum pumps, pressure gauges and vacuum valves combined make up the biggest expense on the bill of materials for semiconductor OEMs. In 2017, almost $2.5 billion worth of vacuum subsystems were ...

In principle, industrial vacuum pumps are merely compressors run with the inlet attached to the vacuum system and the outlet open to exhaust. In smaller sizes, compressors and vacuum pumps are often ...

Three DARPA-funded research teams have completed a foundational study of chip-scale vacuum pumps by inventing three very different approaches to removing air from a sample chamber with a volume of one ...
