Colloidal gels, ubiquitous in industrial applications, can undergo reversible solid-to-liquid transitions. Recent work demonstrates that adding surface roughness to primary particles enhances the ...

This research focuses on the relative importance of fingerpad skin stretch on the perception of friction. It is hypothesized that the perceived magnitude of friction rendered by traditional force ...

The interdependence of adhesion, friction, and elasticity of elastomers is relevant for various engineering applications. However, its investigation has been limited to smooth glass surfaces. We apply ...

Using a current-controllable, two-finger gripper with a built-in depth camera, we demonstrate that LLM-generated, physically-grounded grasp policies outperform traditional grasp policies on a custom ...

Spread the loveUnderstanding the force of friction is essential in numerous applications, from engineering and physics to daily life activities such as driving a car or moving furniture. In this ...

By identifying the type of friction, determining the coefficient of friction, calculating normal force, and applying the correct formulas, you can accurately determine the magnitude of frictional ...

You might not realise it, but friction is vital to your everyday life. You come across it everywhere you go, literally. Even when you are sitting down, standing up or walking, the force of friction ...
