Liston Forceps

Liston forceps is a device developed by American engineer Ryan Liston to study the physical properties of liquids at the microscopic level. They are a combination of laser probing and acoustic microscopy, which allows one to study the environment at the nanoscale.

Liston forceps were invented in 2004 and have been the subject of much research. Their use makes it possible to study many parameters of liquids, including viscosity, density, surface tension and other physical properties.

The operating principle of the pliers is based on the use of a laser beam and ultrasonic waves to create flows in a liquid, which allows one to determine its parameters. The use of ultrasound makes it possible to obtain information about the surface tension of the liquid, and laser probing makes it possible to obtain data on the kinetic properties of the sample.

From the many experiments carried out using liston forceps, the following main results can be highlighted. For example, it has been found that oil viscosity changes at different temperatures and pressures, and that viscosity depends on shear rate. It was also shown
