Researchers developed piezoelectric patch sensors that track finger movements to play rock-paper-scissors, promoting self-motivated healthcare and entertainment. The sensors provide quantifiable data and objective feedback, improving patient outcomes through accessibility, independence, and motivation.
A new digital twin of laser-directed energy deposition repair technology has been developed to improve industrial sustainability. The system automatically determines optimum forming conditions, reducing metal powder waste and increasing the effectiveness of the repair process.
A new UTSC study analyzed Statistics Canada data to examine environmental behaviors and attitudes across Canada. The research found that Canadians are not deeply divided on many important environmental issues, with some common ground potential in drafting national policies.
New research reveals that slower runners can benefit significantly from measures improving 'running economy', such as better footwear and nutrition, resulting in faster finish times. For recreational runners, these methods can lead to substantial improvements, while elite athletes face more limited gains.
Researchers from University of Colorado Boulder have calculated that a sub-two-hour marathon time is theoretically possible. To achieve this, athletes would need to wear shoes around 100 grams lighter than the current world record holder's shoes.
Researchers from Monash University studied how riders' drag is affected by the relative position of multiple cyclists in a breakaway group. They found that drafting can significantly reduce drag, with up to 49% drop for trailing riders and 5% for lead riders.
Researchers Leif Ristroph and Jun Zhang used a tabletop experiment to show that two or more flexible objects in a flow experience drag differently than rigid objects. For example, when one flag flaps, it reduces its own drag but increases the drag on its follower, contrary to expected behavior.
