Lacquers, paint, concrete—and even ketchup or orange juice: Suspensions are widespread in industry and everyday life. By a suspension, materials scientists mean a liquid in which tiny, insoluble solid ...

Seeing people get into outstretched positions to use a foam roller may seem like a funny sight, but physical therapists and elite athletes swear by its promises of reduced soreness, improved ...

Bearing dynamics is a critical field of study that encompasses the analysis of the complex interactions among the various components of rolling-element bearings. Advanced dynamic models and ...

Materials scientists are measuring the rolling friction of tiny, micrometer-sized particles. These measurements permit them to better understand everyday products such as concrete. For the first time, ...

The measuring tip of an atomic force microscope with a specially designed holder in which a spherical particle is “trapped”. Lacquers, paint, concrete—and even ketchup or orange juice: Suspensions are ...
