Abstract: In this paper, a static deflection model of MEMS cantilever beam is proposed, which can better study the force deformation of micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) cantilever beam and the ...

Millions of asteroids orbit the Sun. Smaller fragments often brush the Earth’s atmosphere to light up the sky as meteors. Once every few centuries, a meteoroid has sufficient size to cause regional ...

From ancient compasses to modern smartphones, magnetometers have quietly shaped how we sense and navigate the world. Let us explore the fundamentals behind these field-detecting devices. Magnetic ...

Tell Steve Yamamori that Multnomah County spent more than $3 million renovating an old print warehouse to turn it into a drug-crime deflection center, and his eyebrows rise. Yamamori is president of ...

PORTLAND, Ore. — A Multnomah County commissioner is proposing a suite of changes to the county's drug deflection program, just days after the board received an unflattering report on the program's ...

The man was far from his former life when Dallas Area Rapid Transit police encountered him at a bus station on Bryan Street. Once an airline employee, he developed a drinking problem and was now ...

Multnomah County commissioners were less than dazzled by the performance of the county’s drug deflection center during its first year of operation, which ended Aug. 31. At a briefing Thursday, ...

LANE COUNTY, Ore. — Deflection programs across the state are potential paths to avoid jail for drug possession and low-level crimes, but a year after Lane County began its version of the program, less ...

After NASA smashed a spacecraft into an asteroid, its orbit slowly but surely changed over the next month, and astronomers can’t explain why. In 2022, the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) flew ...

Oregon recriminalized drugs on Sept. 1, 2024, after the passage of House Bill 4002. Most counties set up deflection programs to refer people to treatment rather than incarceration. Data shows counties ...

If asteroid deflection missions aren’t conducted with the utmost care and precision, they may send the object through a “gravitational keyhole,” resulting in it boomeranging to impact the Earth at a ...
