Is it possible to prevent the fall of a rod inside a sliding sleeve due to gravity?

By controlling the transverse oscillations of the constraint and revealing a novel self-tuning dynamic response, we provide a positive answer to this question in our paper:

At the University of Parma (Italy) a call for supporting students wishing

to apply to the prestigious Marie Curie postdoctoral fellowship is now open.

The action wants to help students in preparing their project proposal under the supervision of  a university staff member, to be submitted to the 

Horizon Europe call (MSCA postdoctoral fellowship)
