We often associate tedious tasks with low status but they can be a way to wield subtle power. You don't have to be flashy to ...

For more than 200 years, scientists have argued about a deceptively simple question: why does a sheet of frozen water let us ...

Dive into the technology behind Toyota's highly efficient Dynamic Force engines and see how they compare to rivals like Honda ...

Product development is inherently complex work. The teams that do it best understand that conflict is not only unavoidable but necessary. It happens when passionate, smart, opinionated professionals ...

When Apple introduced the new iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro/Max, it highlighted their even faster fast-charging abilities. With an appropriate USB-C charger that can deliver at least 40 watts, it can ...

In this work we present a molecular dynamics simulation of a FFM experiment. The tip-sample interaction is studied by varying the normal force in the tip and the temperature of the surface. The ...

ABSTRACT: The study compares six composite dry-friction models (AV, CS, CVS, DV, SD, SV) built by combining classical static, Coulomb, viscous and Dahl terms plus Stribeck corrections. Using a ...

FIFA, soccer’s global governing body, announced Thursday tickets for next year’s World Cup (co-hosted with Mexico and Canada) will be sold using dynamic pricing. The controversial method, with prices ...

Businesses today face mounting pressure to deliver frictionless customer experiences while maintaining robust fraud prevention and security measures. Traditional verification methods often force ...

Abstract: The implementation of rigid-flexible coupled force-controlled actuators significantly enhance the performance of adaptive robotic grinding. Nonlinear friction disturbances greatly limit the ...
