The coefficient of friction, a dimensionless scalar value, represents the ratio of the force of friction between two bodies and the normal force pressing them together. It's a crucial concept in ...

Abstract: Electrically-driven soft robots based on piezoelectric actuators may enable compact form factors and maneuverability in complex environments. In most prior work, piezoelectric actuators are ...

The weather has suddenly taken a turn, and there's a chilly bite in the air—cue lashings of lip balm on chapped lips, oversized winter coats and hats to keep our ears toasty. The trouble is, as soon ...

The upper figure shows the viscoelastic toy model proposed here, characterized by only six independent parameters. Surprisingly, this simple mechanical model produces complicated system dynamics, as ...

Picture yourself at a busy pedestrian crossing. When the light is red, everyone waits -- until one person starts to cross. Soon, others follow, and eventually everyone follows the crowd and crosses.
