If you want to know how to make a sneaker with better traction in the rain, just ask a snake. That’s the theory driving the research of Hisham Abdel-Aal, PhD, an associate teaching professor from ...

Keywords: Molten salt, pebble-bed reactors; graphite reflector; annular tanks; seismic behavior; fluid-structure interaction; base isolation; design recommendations. Abstract: This report describes ...

Researchers at the University of Konstanz have uncovered a new mechanism of sliding friction: resistance to motion that arises without any mechanical contact, driven purely by collective magnetic ...

Going out and about in freezing conditions could become safer thanks to fundamental research at the University of Edinburgh into how we slip on ice. Using funding from the Engineering and Physical ...

Ice friction is a critical factor affecting tyre performance in winter conditions, where low temperatures and varying ice surface properties demand specialised rubber compound formulations. The ...
