Researchers have uncovered friction without contact—driven entirely by magnetic interactions. As two magnetic layers slide, ...
Researchers at the University of Konstanz have uncovered a new mechanism of sliding friction: resistance to motion that ...
The relationship between friction and load, quantified three centuries ago, has an exception when the interaction causes magnetic realignment. The discovery won’t let you off the hook when dragging ...
(Nanowerk News) An interdisciplinary research team of the Institutes of Physical Chemistry and Physics of the University of Freiburg and the Max Planck Institute of Biophysics in Frankfurt-am-Main has ...
