Basic research into electricity has given rise to some strange ideas: from the two-liquid theory to electrified brothers in ...

How can a horde of active robots be automatically brought to a standstill? By arresting their dynamics in a self-sustained ...

Robots acting as macroscale analogs of active nanoparticles stop moving through friction alone, revealing a self-sustained ...

How can a horde of active robots be automatically brought to a standstill? By arresting their dynamics in a self-sustained way. This phenomenon was discovered by physicists at Heinrich Heine ...

Friction force microscopy (FFM) of materials with well-defined crystalline surfaces is interpreted within the framework of the Prandtl–Tomlinson (PT) model. This model portrays the interaction with a ...

A novel microtribometer is developed to characterize microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sidewall friction with high resolution. The design is based on a rotational grating displacement sensing ...

According to an Air Force news release, a full-scale qualification static fire test of the Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missile, or ICBM, stage-one solid-propellant rocket motor was ...

When observed more closely, the Physics mod adds all kinds of real-life forces to the game, like gravitational force, applied force, frictional force, etc.
