friction

Electricity is considered as a basic necessity for humans just like food, water and shelter. Ironically, if we think about it we need electricity to make food, water and shelter nowadays. In its early days, […]

In nature ‘entities’, either be living or non-living tend to behave differently at different scales by exhibiting different properties. Which play a major role in the way we frame our perspectives and opinions on them. […]

Ever wondered what makes ice so special to skate on it? Apart from freezing your favorite beverages, it helps make life adventurous. Yes, I am talking about sports like ice skating and ice hockey, it’s […]

Static friction might be an illusion made by the rotation of kinetic friction, even though, since the time of Charles-Augustin de Coulomb (1736–1806), we have believed that there exist two types of solid friction. Nakano […]

Nanofibers are tiny fibers with diameters measured in the nanometer range. They can be generated by a variety of methods, from various different polymers, therefore they can exhibit different physical properties with different application potentials. […]

Friction is a force rising between two surfaces when they move in opposite directions or when one moves over a stationary surface. The scale of the movement does not matter: from the movement of continental […]

Tribology is largely concerned with understanding of the (friction) forces acting at the interface between objects moving against each other (Menezes et al., 2013). Over the recent years there has been significant progress in understanding […]

Friction is the force experienced when two surfaces slide, or try to slide, across each other. We are thankful for friction when we put our foot on the brake to stop the car, or when […]
