Researchers in China have isolated the effects of electronic friction, showing for the first time how the subtle drag force ...

Abstract: This article details the engineering implementation of a 4 kW simultaneous wireless power and full-duplex data transfer (SWPDT) system for deep-sea applications at 4000 m. Addressing the ...

One type of friction can waste energy even when two perfectly smooth surfaces move against each other, but researchers are getting a handle on how to attenuate or stop it completely ...

For the first time, physicists in China have virtually eliminated the friction felt between two surfaces at scales visible to the naked eye. In demonstrating "structural superlubricity," the team, led ...

Abstract: Industrial robotic arms with at least six degrees of freedom, a key component of Industry 4.0, even small ones, are still relatively inaccessible to a wider range of users, experimenters, ...
