Research into graphene—a sheet of carbon a single atom thick—has yielded measurements of the intrinsic strength of the material, showing that graphene is the strongest material ever encountered.

Scientists have developed a sensor for measuring the strength of electric fields, which is much smaller, simpler and less prone to distortion than comparable devices. TU Wien has developed a sensor ...

Amsterdam, NL, September 30, 2020 - Isokinetic dynamometry is a major tool in the measurement of muscle strength in the fields of sports medicine, orthopedic and neurological rehabilitation and ...

Background Recently, a novel reliable and valid protocol has been described for the measurement of eccentric strength of the external rotators of the shoulder, using a Hand Held Dynamometer (HHD).

With clear differences at baseline and subsequent declines seen in a linear pattern, the researchers suggested peak expiratory flow may be a suitable outcome measure for longitudinal assessment of ...

Most of us take it on faith that our military is the best in the world. But if asked to state in detail how ready we are to face certain challenges from around the globe, few of us would know how to ...

An article published last week by Politifact, “Anatomy of a talking point: the smallest Navy since 1917,” illustrates the problem with too simplified an understanding of naval force by “fact checkers.

The slam-dunk is one of basketball’s mightiest moves. While it might not be worth the most points on the scoreboard, but it’s worth a ton in court credibility. Even non-basketball fans can appreciate ...
