A two-in-one technology provides 3D images of structural defects, such as those that can develop in aircraft and power plants. A new system, developed by Tohoku University researchers in Japan in ...

A scanner ensures that ultrasonic probes stay properly aligned as they move over the surface of the inspection area. Scanners with motorized actuator arms, suction cups and adjustable, flexible tracks ...

Nondestructive testing (NDT) refers to the inspection of materials to ensure their integrity and serviceability without damaging the components in the process. There are various NDT methods used by ...

Researchers have unraveled the phenomenon of a new 'third ultrasonic wave' being generated when two ultrasonic waves intersect within a plate. A research group led by Assistant Professor Yosuke Ishii ...

Could 3D ultrasound imaging improve the way periodontal disease is diagnosed and treated? A research team from West Virginia University (WVU) thinks so. While ultrasound is best known in dentistry for ...

A recent uptick in battery-related fires has drawn attention to the challenge of identifying defects that can cause these catastrophic malfunctions, but are rarely obvious to the naked eye. In hopes ...

Both ultrasound for medical imaging and seismology for imaging the Earth's interior measure the propagation of waves through matter. For example, when seismic waves encounter material differences in ...

An ultrasound scan uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the inside of the body. They can help evaluate fetal development, as well as detect issues in various organs. Ultrasound scans, ...
