MIT Associate Professor Heather Kulik is an explorer in the sprawling universe of possible chemical combination. The chemical engineer embraces computer models as “the only way to make a dent” in the vast number of potential materials that could solve important problems.
New Law of Physics Could Help Advance Wide Range of Robotic Technologies
Written by AZoRoboticsApr 30 2021
Despite the massive use of robotic devices right from assembly lines to medicine, engineers have a tough time accounting for the friction arising when those robots hold on to objects especially in wet conditions.

Scientists have found out a new law of physics responsible for this kind of friction, which must help the discovery of an extensive range of robotic technologies.
Our work here opens the door to creating more reliable and functional haptic and robotic devices in applications such as telesurgery and manufacturing.
