In the creeping plant's tendrils, researchers discover a biological mechanism for coiling and stumble upon an unusual type of spring. In the creeping plant's tendrils, researchers discover a ...

When designing helical or compression springs, you’ll confront several challenges and trade-offs, especially when it comes to getting the best possible performance from the wire. You will want to use ...

Leaf springs are treated like archaic tech, as they aren’t found under any of the latest industry-leading performance cars, and are often used as a point of reference that shows how “dated” a ...

Coil-sprung suspension is a low-stiction, low-maintenance approach to suspending your mountain bike, with less heat build-up than air suspension. However, unlike air suspension (where you just ...

Many small mechanisms contain a spring or two. Ballpoint pens, for example, use coil springs while battery holders rely on beam springs for contacts. When the need for a spring arise, users can pick a ...
