Thanks to its airplane-shaped folding, the paper plane is statically stable in the vacuum-like upper reaches of space. It ...

Changes in surface energy and electrical conductivity of polyimide (PI)-based nanocomposite films filled with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) induced by UV exposure are gaining considerable interest in ...

James is a published author with four pop-history and science books to his name. He specializes in history, strange science, ...

‘Parchment paper’s non-stick surface makes it perfect for crafting. Use it as a template for tracing shapes onto fabric or as ...

Bringing out the beauty in every grain - Jack Mack Woodturning is all about handcrafted excellence, unique designs, and ...

We demonstrate that electrophoresis on a flat Si substrate is an effective method in separation of DNA with different configurations, e.g., linear, supercoiled, and relaxed or DNA of different length, ...

Fluctuations of the frictional force arising from the stroke of a finger against flat and sinusoidal surfaces are studied. A custom-made high-resolution friction force sensor, able to resolve ...

We consider the problem of capturing shape characteristics on specular (refractive and reflective) surfaces that are nearly flat. These surfaces are difficult to model using traditional methods based ...
