Researchers at the University of Konstanz have uncovered a new mechanism of sliding friction: resistance to motion that arises without any mechanical contact, driven purely by collective magnetic ...
On June 15, 2021, Major League Baseball (MLB) announced enhanced enforcement of the rules that prohibit the use of foreign substances (i.e., sticky substances) to baseballs, except for rosin, a ...
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 discovered a ...
Researchers have uncovered friction without contact—driven entirely by magnetic interactions. As two magnetic layers slide, their internal forces compete, causing constant rearrangements that ...
Schematic illustration of Friction Force Microscopy (FFM). The AFM cantilever, a small diving board-like structure about 200 micrometers long, 50 micrometers wide, and 1 micrometer thick, has a sharp ...
When grasping objects, humans actively adjust grip force in response to surface slipperiness and motion. Previous studies have showed that corrective actions occur after tactile afferents signal ...
