When load increases steadily, so does friction, but in the realm of magnetization dynamics, things aren’t so simple.

Researchers found friction can occur without contact, driven by magnetic dynamics, and does not always increase with load. The effect could enable controllable, wear-free technologies.

Static electricity is so commonplace that it can come across as simple. Other teams are investigating how surface area and velocity during impact might govern charge transfer, and how the breaking ...

This familiar phenomenon has puzzled researchers for centuries, but experiments are finally making sense of its unruly ...

Most of us still like to think of ourselves as people who can talk things through. We say we value openness, nuance and ...
