Abstract: Friction modulation allows for a range of different tactile sensations and textures to be simulated on flat touchscreens, yet is largely unable to render fundamental interactions such as ...

Parts of devices that are perfectly smooth can still experience friction because of the electrons within them, but a new method may enable researchers to turn it down or fully turn it off. Controlling ...

You're in a rush for work and reach for your favorite trousers you meticulously folded on laundry day, only to find the drawer isn't cooperating with you. Normal pressure isn't enough to make it budge ...

In this video, we break down the physics behind a tipping or sliding block! Learn how to calculate torque and friction to determine the exact moment when a block will tip or slide. Whether you're ...

I called out sliding as one of my favourite aspects of Arc Raiders in a launch-day write-up. It lends the looter shooter a gambolling giddiness you might not expect from its heavily laden packmule ...

The Supreme Court’s scant explanation in recent emergency decisions backing President Trump is sparking increasing debate among lower judges — and even the justices themselves. The Supreme Court has ...

Fig. 3: These conveyor belt rollers experience rolling contact fatigue during operation. Including plastic components in machinery systems that experience friction and wear results in a number of ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...
