Abstract:
Scientific fields evolve a culture and vocabulary that create a group identity but may result in reduced understanding by people in apparently adjacent but different fields. Here, a series of articles written by scientists active in biomechanics, energetics and ecology relevant to locomotion forms the basis of researchers striving to bridge those divides and providing a common language and perspective.

Cohesion
50.9K
Cohesion is the attraction between molecules of the same type, such as water molecules. Water molecules have an overall neutral charge but are polar molecule. An oxygen atom in one water molecule has a partial negative charge that can bind to a hydrogen atom with a partial positive charge in a second water molecule, forming a hydrogen bond. Each water molecule can form up to four hydrogen bonds with other water molecules. Hydrogen bonds are responsible for water's cohesive nature.

An Introduction to Mechanics

Humans have been making ships, shelters, pyramids, weapons, agricultural equipment, and many more items without recording the process or theory behind them for centuries. It would be challenging to document the evolution of mechanics from its origin to the present.
According to records, the history of mechanics starts with Aristotle (384–322 BC). He related mechanics to physical theory, aiming for a universal synthesis.
