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 ...
