In "Friction," tribologist Jennifer Vail shows how the fundamental force that resists motion keeps driving us forward.

Scientists led by the University of Leicester have made an insight into superlubricity, where surfaces experience extremely low levels of friction While many of us are treading carefully to avoid a ...

Scientists have made an insight into superlubricity, where surfaces experience extremely low levels of friction. This could benefit future technologies by reducing energy lost to friction by moving ...

Find the minimum applied force for equilibrium on a frictional incline. This short breaks down the free-body diagram, force components, and friction conditions to show how equilibrium is achieved with ...

Opinion polarization is often considered as the primary driver of social friction, leading to exhaustive efforts to force a consensus. However, new research suggests a more pragmatic goal: reducing ...
