A pull chain light fixture is handy for basements and storage areas—until it quits working. The internal switch mechanism can wear out, or pulling too hard on the cord can snap the chain or pull it ...

Kinematic chains, comprising interconnected rigid links and joints, form the backbone of mechanism design. Recent advances in synthesis methods have increasingly relied on graph theory to provide ...

WiMi's alliance chain cross-chain model, based on the Relay Chain and asynchronous consensus mechanism, introduces the Relay Chain to coordinate different application chains and adopts an asynchronous ...

A new study has unveiled a precise picture of how an ion channel found in most mammalian cells regulates its own function with a 'ball-and-chain' channel-plugging mechanism. The findings boost the ...

Blockchains were initially designed to work independently. While this approach worked well in the early days, the expanding and complex crypto ecosystem highlighted the need for greater interaction ...
