The goal of mechanobiology is to develop a mechanical description of cells and their parts. Platelet clotting, for example, is an important biological process that can only be fully understood if a ...

It's perhaps the second week of your introductory physics course. Your instructor starts talking about friction and writes the following two formulas on the board. Then there is probably some sort of ...

This is a cooler physics problem than I initially realized. It goes something like this. A block has a mass of 1 kg and is placed on a vertical wall such that the coefficient of static friction is 0.5 ...

THIS is a reprint in book-form, with additions, of a series of articles which appeared in Engineering in the autumn of 1906. Those who have had any experience of such work will know how tedious is the ...

The strong nuclear force may abruptly loosen its grip on the fundamental particles that make up matter at a special “critical ...
