triboluminescence based spectroscopy specialist Tribogenics has signed Singapore-based Horiba Scientific to distribute the company's new line of Watson hand-held XRF metal analysers throughout Southeast Asia, the company said.
My approach for The Chairs draws on the idea of
Triboluminescence, a visible event that occurs when a material is physically altered and its chemical bonds are broken, releasing a burst of light.

The
triboluminescence phenomenon initially occurred at 50N and 2m/s.
Triboluminescence is the phenomenon that produces light by pressure, friction or mechanical shock.
Then the samples were heated to 50[degrees]C for 1 h to remove the contribution of
triboluminescence, if any, which is generated during powdering of the sample.
Some of these chapters handle relevant scientific concerns: the nature and origins of fluorescence, tenebrescence,
triboluminescence and thermoluminescence; trace-element activators; and commonly fluorescent species, as presented in paragraph-length accounts.
This effect seems to be similar to mechanically induced thermoluminescence or
triboluminescence. The thermal expansion coefficients are different for [Li.sub.2][B.sub.4][O.sub.7] crystal and glass phases.
(The same thing happens if you chew it with your teeth!) This is an example of
triboluminescence.
This phenomenon has a name:
triboluminescence (TRY-bow-loo-muh-NESS-ents).
These squares were, from early in the program, handled with a vacuum pickup tool that helped eliminate any introduction of foreign matter, e.g., finger grease, and reduce
triboluminescence caused by tweezer manipulation.
