On a wave-battered rock in the northern Pacific Ocean, a fish called the sculpin grips the surface firmly to maintain ...

Materials scientists are measuring the rolling friction of tiny, micrometer-sized particles. These measurements permit them to better understand everyday products such as concrete.

Essayli announced the launch of the Homelessness Fraud and Corruption Task Force, which will include federal prosecutors from the FBI, IRS and HUD. One of the items on the agenda is investigating ...

Our project focuses on analyzing how proteins assemble on membranes using Atomic Force Microscopy. With high-resolution, fast-scan Atomic Force Microscopy, we will directly visualize the structure and ...

The researchers derived friction coefficients from the measurements ... The researchers used a so-called atomic force microscope for their measurements. Doctoral student Simon Scherrer first developed ...

For friction tests, they created a custom apparatus with a soft polymer ball coated with skin oil to mimic a human finger gripping a baseball. Adhesion forces were measured using atomic force ...

Conventional atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques often struggle with the coupling between vertical and lateral forces, which can distort lateral mechanical property measurements. To address this ...

Shares of Force Motors Ltd. gained as much as 7% on Friday, March 28, after the company received an order to supply 2,978 Force Gurkha light vehicles to the Indian Defence Forces. The company has been ...
