Researchers with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California Berkeley have measured what is believed to be the smallest force yet recorded – 42 yoctonewtons, or a ...

Until about 10 years ago, the force test and measurement industry had been fairly unimaginative. It had developed a standard way of building analog load cells, torque transducers and other devices, ...

The New York Police Department is rolling out a new policy to record officers' use of force. The strategy has already been implemented in L.A. and Seattle. Advocates say it's an effective way to limit ...

For the first time, scientists have measured the force it takes to move individual atoms on a surface. This fundamental measurement provides important information for designing future atomic-scale ...

Mechanical forces generated by cells not only drive the bending, stretching, alignment, and repositioning required for tissue development and homeostasis, but also regulate cell functions ranging from ...

The International Tennis Federation (ITF) invited Mecmesin to bid for a project to replace its outdated ‘Stevens’ test machine which was used to measure the force required to ‘squash’ a tennis ball.

In biology, however, molecular machines – for example the kinesin and dyenin motor proteins – often function individually (each kinesin molecule carries its cargo – typically a vesicle filled with ...

Peering at the debris from particle collisions that recreate the conditions of the very early universe, scientists have for the first time measured the force of interaction between pairs of ...

Physicists have measured the smallest gravitational field ever recorded, in an experiment that could help in the search for a unified theory of physics. Of the four fundamental forces known to physics ...
