Physicists have developed a fast and sensitive mechanical tool to measure light. The graphene nanomechanical bolometer is the fastest and most sensitive in its class. It is poised to detect nearly ...

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 world has come quite some way from simple, mechanical measuring instruments. Nowadays, our devices, from iOS to Android, have some of the best measurement apps. Since they arrived on the scene, ...
