Minus K Technology Inc. claims that the “negative stiffness” mechanism it has developed isolates objects from vibrations better than traditional solutions. Such techniques provide the stable platform ...

PORTLAND, Ore. — Angstrom-level accuracy is needed to stabilize platforms used in applications like microelectromechanical system testing, nanoscale metrology and semiconductor fabrication tools. One ...

At the University of California/Davis, The Moulé Group is investigating the patterning and solution processing of organic electronic materials for use in equipment like chemical sensors, ...

As the system was designed for use in a range of R&D environments, significant ambient vibrations could affect the data. He continued, "We needed to implement a vibration isolation component that ...

Negative-stiffness vibration isolation has significantly improved performance over traditional air tables and active vibration isolation methods, providing improved sound quality for audiophiles with ...

In this interview, Erik Runge, Director of Engineering at Minus K Technology talks to AZoNano about their range of Negative-Stiffness Vibration Isolators and why they are the preferred solution for ...

The just-released model CT-2 completely-passive tabletop vibration isolation platform, from Minus K Technology, with no air or electric power required, represents the latest state-of-the-art option ...

• Negative-stiffness isolators use mechanical components to keep vibrations from sensitive equipment. • Negative-stiffness systems’ 0.5-Hz resonant frequencies give them better low-frequency isolation ...

There is a growing need for accurate vibration isolation with scanning probe microscopy (SPM) and nearfield scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) systems and is becoming highly critical as resolutions ...

The idea is simple: Protect sensitive objects from vibrating floors and foundations. So is the basic vibration-isolation system model, found in most every vibration textbook, and shown in the ...
