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

ETH Zurich scientists measure rolling friction in micrometer-sized particles, enhancing understanding of suspensions in ...

Suspensions are widespread in industry and everyday life. By a suspension, materials scientists mean a liquid in which tiny, ...

The buildup of static charge often occurs due to friction. At a microscopic level, even smooth surfaces are rough and irregular.

Some plastic pieces are endocrine disruptors, interfering with brain-function-regulating hormones. This may influence mood, ...

Extended cut: Relive the final day of SA's epic '95-96 Shield triumph The defining and enduring memory of South Australia's most recent Sheffield Shield title win 29 years ago remains the tension ...

Ignore the naysayers: the best Micro Four Thirds cameras are incredibly powerful, unbeatably portable imaging machines – both as an "everyday carry" and as a professional tool. You will hear a lot of ...

The most expensive model is $2,199. The Surface Pro 11 starts at $999 with a Snapdragon X Plus chipset, 16GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD, and an IPS display, so the same as the MacBook Air. The OLED ...

Abstract: Aiming at the temperature failure for wet friction interface within mechanical transmissions, this article constructs a single-pair asperities contact model, which considers the influence of ...

But there were many misconceptions as to the benefits. I’ve heard golfers suggest that rust adds more friction to the surface of the wedge, thereby adding more spin at impact. But in my ...

The latest player in this arena is micro-LED, an emerging display tech that combines the self-emissive qualities of OLED with the brightness and durability of QLED. Still in its infancy ...
