From Sealed to Revealed: The Debate Over CT Scanning in Trading Card Collecting
Posted: 2024-12-27For decades, the trading card hobby was a game of chance and collectors lived and died by the "Odds Per Pack" statement and whether or not collectors were purchasing packs, boxes, or cases, neither buyers nor sellers knew exactly what treasures lay within the sealed packaging. It was a thrill that combined risk, reward, and nostalgia. But in recent years, technology has introduced a disruptive twist: the ability to see what’s inside without breaking the seal.
With that said, let's shift our focus t...Read More.
DÜRR NDT Extends its Product Range of Bendable Digital X-ray Detectors
Posted: 2024-12-27Shortly after the launch of the D-DR 1025B NDT, the D-DR 1043B NDT joins the family of bendable X-ray detectors for industrial radiography. The D-DR 1043B NDT is designed for weld inspection on objects with large diameters to cover a wider area and save time due to fewer exposures. With an active area of 97 x 427 mm, you can inspect the weld of a 300 mm pipe with as few as 3 exposures.
Both detectors can be bent continuously from flat to a 150 mm respectively 300 mm diameter in one direction, with exposu...Read More.
Measuring the Moisture Content of Wood Sheathing with Continuous Wave Radars
Posted: 2024-12-27Abstract:
Radars were studied for measuring the moisture content of wood-based materials because of their non-destructive nature and their ability to measure the moisture content of several layers at once. These convenient characteristics enable a quick and non-invasive method to find areas of high moisture content in building envelopes so that problems can be fixed before the structure degrades.
The need to operate the radar at millimeter ranges required the development of new techniques and met...Read More.

AI Robots Set to Inspect Buildings and Safeguard Against Structural Failures
Posted: 2024-12-18Even the strongest structures will eventually fail. When such failures might occur is hard to predict, so it takes regular inspection to ensure buildings and public infrastructure are in good condition. Now, researchers think artificial intelligence (AI)-powered robots could handle these checkups.
Concrete crack detection has come a long way over time, but researchers believe it can go further. Automating the process through AI and robotics could transform the industry for the better.
How Do AI R...Read More.
