Due to the radiative thermal conductivity of the mineral olivine, only oceanic plates over 60 million years old and ...

Scientists have long wondered how Earth’s continents first formed. Now, a team of geologists from the University of Hong Kong ...

Geologists have uncovered the remains of a massive tectonic plate beneath the Pacific Ocean, a plate that had been hidden for ...

This paper proposes a simple neural network compact form model-free adaptive controller (NNCFMFAC) for a single thin McKibben muscle (TMM) system. The main contribution of this work is the ...

The widely used analytical formula for the barrel-plate capacitance in the physics-based via circuit model involves an infinite summation, which requires a truncation during practical computations.

"The simple mechanical model we propose here, a viscoelastic toy model, provides a novel scenario to explain the static friction paradox in stick-slip instability without artificial friction laws," ...

PITTSBURGH -- After taking a good look at his swing last month, Billy Cook determined it was time for a change. If it wasn’t a feel thing, the results on the scoreboard was enough to go back to the ...
