Science Friction is a wacky animated comedy that follows the story of Woody Woodpecker who finds himself in a predicament when a bumbling scientist with a penchant for bizarre creations sets his ...

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

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

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 ...

Friction is all around us, working against the motion of tires on pavement, the scrawl of a pen across paper, and even the flow of proteins through the bloodstream. Whenever two surfaces come in ...
