This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Force sensors weigh freight on manufacturing and transportation equipment. They also monitor loads on machines subject to stringent ...

Cells are under mechanical tension in their native environment. New genetically encoded tension sensors can make a broader range of these forces visible. Cells interact with their surrounding ...

(A) The structure of a CNT. (B) A typical structure of 2D materials. (C) The unique structure of a silicon nanoladder. Due to limitations in the performance of traditional materials, force sensors ...

Researchers have developed a tiny fiber optic force sensor that can measure extremely slight forces exerted by small objects. The new light-based sensor overcomes the limitations of force sensors ...

New research found that oncogene SET/TAF1, which was found to be a proto-oncogene of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), contributes to proper chromosome partitioning as a tension sensor. Additionally, ...

Evaluating tribological properties such as friction coefficients, friction forces, and torques for arbitrary material pairs, with high precision is crucial for multiple areas of research and industry.

When webs of continuous paper, wire, cloth, or plastic are manufactured, the material is typically pulled off a roll, processed, and rewound in unwind, intermediate, and rewind zones. Knowing the ...

A Waseda University-led research uncovered the molecular mechanism of how a particular cancer-causing oncogene could trigger an onset of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Characterized by symptoms such as ...
