Tech neck,' or 'text neck,' is the progressive cervical strain caused by hours of forward head posture bent over smartphones, tablets and laptops.

Abstract: Load cells have long been used to sense and measure force and torque. When properly designed and used, they are very accurate and reliable sensors. Load cells are applied in several ...

Compression shorts are a smart addition to your wardrobe, especially if you’re an athlete, fitness class junkie, or gym-goer. And non-athletes can benefit from compression, too. Flip on any sporting ...

Wood strength and stiffness vary with the grain direction. Generally, wood has three primary strength directions: parallel to the grain (longitudinal, L), perpendicular to the grain (radial, R), and ...

Additive manufacturing has been well established in many sectors, including the medical industry. For load-bearing bone implants, titanium and its alloys, such as Ti6Al4V, are widely used due to their ...

Pulse compression based on stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is a nonlinear optical approach that efficiently converts high-energy nanosecond pulses into the picosecond. Since the first ...

Since the discovery of synchronous pulsations in cardiomyocytes (CMs), electrical communication between CMs has been emphasized; however, recent studies suggest the possibility of mechanical ...

Many believe the company that enables real intelligence on end devices (such as mobile and IoT devices) will define the future of computing. Racing toward this goal, many companies, whether tech ...
