To study fine touch, selecting samples based on how many mechanical instabilities they can form is more predictive than using the friction coefficient, which has been the default choice.

Parts of devices that are perfectly smooth can still experience friction because of the electrons within them, but a new method may enable researchers to turn it down or fully turn it off. Controlling ...

JTEKT has been granted a patent for a method to estimate friction force in vehicle power steering systems. The method utilizes a mathematical model to adjust motor torque based on measured input ...
