If gravity-defying sex positions are your jam, meet the apex sex position—a lofty mash-up of doggy style and the wheelbarrow.

These tips and tricks for the home have been passed down from generation to generation, but do they still hold up today? You ...

As adults, these large snakes are better known for their slow, lumbering gait, but the researchers discovered that young anacondas are much more spry — capable of a quick, one-off, skating movement ...

The friction between a steel cylinder and a soft elastomer in adhesive contact is experimentally investigated as the normal force is gradually increased. The dependencies of normal and tangential ...

In this paper, a simple harmonic motion experiment teaching platform based on Human-machine Engineering is proposed. Based on the phenomenon of friction oscillators, a new simple harmonic motion ...

In comparison of a Pt57.5Cu14.7Ni5.3P22.5 metallic glass with a Pt(111) single crystal we find that wearless friction is determined by chemistry through bond formation alloying, while wear is ...
