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

A quadruped robot has learned to walk across slippery, uneven terrain entirely through simulation, ...

"Join me as we dive into the core concepts of forces and motion! In this video, we’ll review Newton’s Laws of Motion, explore how forces affect objects, and break down key principles like acceleration ...

Robots acting as macroscale analogs of active nanoparticles stop moving through friction alone, revealing a self-sustained cooling effect without external input. (Nanowerk News) How can a horde of ...

MEDINA, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Carlisle Brake & Friction (CarlisleCBF), a global leader in brake and friction technology and part of the CentroMotion family of brands, has reached a momentous ...

Irregularities present on a surface are often described as surface roughness or texture. These surface textures such as grooves and dimples impart friction, which is the force between two sliding ...

Torque required to put a bearing into motion from rest is usually higher than that required to keep it running once it starts. Starting friction, therefore, has an important influence on the power ...
