Researchers developed a faster and simpler way to model the forces needed to push, wiggle, and drill an object through soft, granular material in real-time. The methods could help engineers drive a ...

But as object storage scales up and the costs come down, HPC centers – and indeed anyone in the media or entertainment business that has similar archiving issues – can contemplate moving to disk-based ...

Four years ago, Cloudian was a six-year-old startup in an object storage space that, while the technology had been around for more than a decade, was seeing a surge of interest from cloud providers ...

For those of you who take sandcastle building very seriously, listen up: MIT engineers now say you can trust a very simple equation to calculate the force required to push a shovel -- and any other ...

(Nanowerk News) MIT researchers have compiled a dataset that captures the detailed behavior of a robotic system physically pushing hundreds of different objects. Using the dataset -- the largest and ...

If you follow all the strange news about the physics of the universe, you may have already come across the topic of blackbody force. In 2013, a team of physicists announced they’d discovered the ...

Pushing a shovel through snow, planting an umbrella on the beach, wading through a ball pit, and driving over gravel all have one thing in common: They all are exercises in intrusion, with an ...

Researchers have compiled a dataset that captures the detailed behavior of a robotic system physically pushing hundreds of different objects. Using the dataset -- the largest and most diverse of its ...
