Three models. One interface. No installation. Today we’re releasing a tool we’ve wanted to build for a long time: a unified QCM calculator that covers the full range from rigid films in vacuum to viscoelastic layers in liquid — entirely in your browser. If you work with QCM, you’ve almost certainly done this: opened a…
Ever wondered what really happens when your openQCM measures dissipation? Today we’re opening the hood and showing you exactly how it works—including the engineering challenge that made us rethink the standard approach. One of the questions we get asked most often is: “How exactly does the dissipation measurement work?” It’s a fair question. And honestly,…
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…
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
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…
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
Researchers working at International Islamic University Malaysia compared openQCM Quartz Crystal Microbalance with standard scientific instruments Network and Impedance Analyzer
A year has already gone by since the launch of openQCM and there are many things to tell. When we have tried as private company, the way of the open source by launching one of the first scientific analytical instrument in the world completely open hardware, we would never have imagined this level of success.…
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…
I’d like to share openQCM Quartz Crystal Microbalance frequency behaviour in contact with water solutions at different weight percent of sucrose.
