Researchers have uncovered friction without contact—driven entirely by magnetic interactions. As two magnetic layers slide, ...

Mad-as-a-hatter British inventor Colin Furze recently set out to create a real-life version of the hoverboard from Back to ...

The relationship between friction and load, quantified three centuries ago, has an exception when the interaction causes ...

Researchers found friction can arise without contact, driven by magnetic dynamics, and doesn't always increase with load but peaks when magnetic ordering becomes frustrated.

Over the past decades, electronics engineers have been trying to develop increasingly smaller devices that can store information reliably, even when they are not powered on. A promising type of ...

Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man are back, but this time they’re facing more danger than ever! Watch as they try to escape the ...

A novel theory suggests that the current expansion rate of the universe is not fixed, but was in fact quite different in the ...

Scientists have found the oldest direct evidence for tectonic motion on Earth by more than half a billion years ...

For centuries, astronomers faced the challenge of classifying objects in space based on their appearance. When observing an ...

As US President Donald Trump pressures American allies – and even China – to contribute naval forces to protect shipping ...

For decades, astronomers have struggled to differentiate giant planets from brown dwarfs, a class of objects more massive ...

Two nonconductive liquids produce a conductive film where they meet, enabling 3D-printed all-liquid wires that obey Ohm's law ...
