Tactical Haptics recently revealed the SaberGrip controller, which amplifies VR simulations' immersion with realistic force feedback. The controllers utilize sheer forces to simulate any handle ...

The force needed to slide sheets of graphene across each other has been measured using a new technique that involves blowing air bubbles made of the material. Developed by Zhong Zhang of the National ...

Left: The gelation mechanism through metal coordination to the pseudopolyrotaxanes; the metal ions are shown as yellow spheres. In the lower panel, which represents the hydrogel, the pseudorotaxanes ...

Shear force is any force corresponding to a material’s surface. In liquid, for example, this leads to friction between fluid particles, leading to particle size reduction. In high shear mixing, shear ...

The transverse load P will produce a shear force V in the positive y direction on a mathematical cut through the beam at point “a”. This shear force is directly responsible for the shear stress τ on ...

The explosiveness of a volcanic eruption depends on how many gas bubbles form in the magma—and when. Until now, it was thought that gas bubbles were formed primarily when the ambient pressure dropped ...
