Revolutionizing QCM Research: How AI will Transform Quartz Crystal Microbalance Technology

by Claude 3 Opus This post was entirely written by Claude 3 Opus. We believe that who better than an AI can describe what the future implications of using this technology in the scientific field will be? In the realm of surface science and materials characterization, Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) technology has emerged as a…

Introducing the new openQCM Q-1 Python Software

The new openQCM Q-1 Python Software: real-time monitoring of frequency and dissipation variations of a Quartz Crystal Microbalance through the analysis of the resonance curve

An exciting year

Hello, everyone. This 2018 has been a very exciting year. The openQCM project is growing beyond our expectations. We have launched 2 new devices and are working on the development of new scientific tools, which I hope will help the world of research in a completely new way. For this reason, we have temporary neglected…

openQCM test of quartz crystal in contact with liquid

Here we report in detail the verification test of openQCM Quartz Crystal Microbalance in contact with pure water according to the theory based on Kanazawa – Gordon equation

openQCM verification test using Impedance and Network Analyzer

Researchers working at International Islamic University Malaysia compared openQCM Quartz Crystal Microbalance with standard scientific instruments Network and Impedance Analyzer

openQCM community develops and shares the new electronic design using KiCAD

openQCM Quartz Crystal Microbalance electronic design is finally released using the free software KiCAD. Thanks to Martin Zalazar, Christian Mista and all the guys working at the Lab of electronic prototyping and 3D printing of the Universidad Nacional de Entre Ríos UNER – Argentina Great thanks for being an active part of the openQCM community…

openQCM frequency stability of quartz crystal microbalance in typical experimental conditions

We are now testing the performances of two different openQCM devices in the most typical experimental conditions in order to measure the frequency stability of the open source quartz crystal microbalance.

openQCM news and press review

The openQCM is really proud to share the latest reviews about the open source quartz crystal microbalance. This is also the opportunity to give thanks to people supporting the openQCM project.

Quartz Crystal Microbalance openQCM: our first test

As already mentioned, we have just completed the design and the electronic optimization of the Quartz Crystal Microbalance openQCM. At the moment we already have 2 working devices. So, we are very glad to show the first test in liquid environment. In order to demonstrate the real behavior of the system we have preferred to make a video. In…
