Scientists discover ultra-weak faults near the 7.2 magnitude earthquake in Haiti that continued to slip for weeks.

Scientists have discovered there is more to Antarctica than meets the eye. A new map of the landscape beneath the frozen continent's ice sheet has revealed a previously hidden world of mountains, deep ...

Maximum acceleration when pulling a block with friction. This video explains how friction limits acceleration, how to apply Newton’s laws correctly, and how to determine the maximum possible ...

A hidden chunk of an ancient tectonic plate is stuck to the Pacific Ocean floor and sliding under North America, complicating ...

Abstract: The miniaturization of precision instruments directly leads to a reduction in the mass of the mover in stick-slip actuators. As the mover mass decreases, inertia is reduced, making it ...

Olympic officials have brought on ice master Mark Messer to prepare the speed skating rink for the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter ...

Usually, the joint transmission friction model for robots is composed of a viscous friction force and of a constant dry sliding friction force. However, according to the Coulomb law, the dry friction ...

A hands-on experiment shows how intense friction can generate enough heat to char and soften wood, breaking down the physics of energy transfer and temperature buildup. Trouble for Trump as supporters ...
