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

These days, most people are aware of both the buzz and consternation that has accompanied any discussion of artificial intelligence (AI) within recent months. Like any technology, AI has a learning ...

Friction usually announces itself through contact. A chair scraping across a floor, a tire gripping asphalt, a hand sliding ...

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.

Friction is hard to predict and control, especially since surfaces that come in contact are rarely perfectly flat. New experiments demonstrate that the amount of friction between two silicon surfaces, ...
