This all requires the ability to sense shear force, which no other sensor skin has been able to do well.” Posner is the senior author of a research paper about the robo-skin project, published ...

Shear sense is dextral. Width of photograph is 2.5 mm. Field photograph of extensional shear bands in highly deformed greenschist-facies sediments of a crustal-scale extensional shear zone (Menderes ...

If a robot is sent to disable a roadside bomb—or delicately handle an egg while cooking you an omelet—it needs to be able to sense when objects are slipping out of its grasp. Yet to date it's ...

(Think a deck of playing cards.) Under the action of a transverse load we see below how the beam deflects in the absence of shear stiffness. Focus, in particular, on the deflection at the right end of ...

Blood-flow-induced shear stress acting on the arterial wall is of paramount importance in vascular biology. Endothelial cells sense shear stress and largely control its value in a feedback-control ...
