The lack of a suitable experimental setup and a limited number of in vitro investigations have impeded understanding of the factors that have important roles in altering the drag force acting on tiny ...

If you follow all the strange news about the physics of the universe, you may have already come across the topic of blackbody force. In 2013, a team of physicists announced they’d discovered the ...

Discuss the concept of gravity. Ask students to describe how they experience the force directly. Ask them how gravity affects objects beyond Earth. Review students' notes from the program. Have ...

Two university researchers, Haneesh Kesari, an assistant professor of engineering, and Weilin Deng GS, the lead author of the study, recently discovered that extremely small differences in surface ...

Scientists have detailed how the activity of tactile neurons in the fingertip in response to an applied force is influenced by the fingertip's mechanical memory of previous forces. The study, ...

Researchers have shown that tension on DNA molecules can affect gene expression -- the process at the heart of biological function that tells a cell what to do. University of Michigan researchers have ...

Corey Neu receives funding from the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, and the Department of Defense. Sometimes cells can forget what type of cell they are and stop ...
