Friction is a force that opposes the motion of two surfaces in contact with each other. It plays an essential role in our daily lives, as it is responsible for providing grip, reducing wear and tear ...
Frequency is an essential concept in physics, especially when studying waves, oscillations and vibrations. It represents the number of cycles completed by a periodic phenomenon in a set period of time ...
Abstract: Muscle force and joint kinematics estimation from surface electromyography (sEMG) are essential for real-time biomechanical analysis of the dynamic interplay among neural muscle stimulation, ...
Abstract: In this paper, we present an analysis of LEO multi-antenna systems using a hybrid HFSS and Circuit integration technique. Designing LEO systems requires carefully considering thermal and ...

How to Measure Nothing Better

Cold atoms could also potentially measure much lower vacuum pressures than ion gauges can. The current lowest pressure they’ve reliably measured is around 10 -9 Pa, and NIST scientists are working on ...
