To detect the quantum friction of empty space, scientists are going for a spin. A twirling nanoparticle, suspended in a laser beam inside of a vacuum, can measure tiny twisting forces, making it the ...

Designers typically qualify clamp force of a bolted joint by the amount of torque applied to fasteners holding it, either as they're tightened or after the fact. The approach may be adequate for many ...

Bearing torque is the moment required to overcome internal friction to start or maintain rotation of one ring while the other is stationary. Torque or friction generally increases when: Bearing size ...
