I know we can quantify traveler friction but we don't yet know how the scores will relate to retention or sales data. Until we measure it, we won't know if we can manage it." Gillespie said several ...

The Virginia Tech Transportation Institute will use a truck-mounted Sideway-force Coefficient Routine Investigation Machine, or SCRIM, to measure pavement friction and possible slick spots on U.S.

Not all hard work is created equal. Discover which challenges strengthen you and which ones drain you—and the micro-moves ...

Creating a tool small enough to measure friction on a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) device is not an easy task. The tool has to be about the width of a human hair. Yet, researchers at the at ...

CORVALLIS, Ore. – An international team of scientists that installed a borehole temperature observatory following the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake in Japan has been able to measure the "frictional heat" ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – An engineer at Ohio State University recently demonstrated the world's first method for directly measuring friction between tiny microelectromechanical-system (MEMS) parts. Using an ...
