A research team led by Prof. Tian-Bao Ma from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Tsinghua University has proposed a ...

Significance We investigate the origin of static friction, the threshold force at which a frictional interface starts to slide. For rough contacts involving rubber or human skin, we show that the real ...

Non-isothermal kinetic assessment of seaweed biomass (e.g., Solieria filiformis) was studied using three different iso-conversional kinetic methods to calculate activation energy. S. filiformis ...
