Creating a tool small enough to measure friction on a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) device is not an easy task. The tool has to be about the width of a human hair. Yet, researchers at the at ...

The Virginia Tech Transportation Institute will use a truck-mounted Sideway-force Coefficient Routine Investigation Machine, or SCRIM, to measure pavement friction and possible slick spots on U.S.

FOR THE FIRST TIME, scientists have determined the forces needed to move a single atom across a surface. With this advance, it's now possible to quantify friction at the atomic level. Knowing how ...

Our friends at Friction Facts are at it again, this time with a new test fixture to measure the friction generated by bottom brackets. In this round, Friction Facts tested 35 different models from ...

“Networks of interconnected filaments are everywhere in biological and bioengineered systems, such as connective tissues, spider webs, and scaffolds for tissue growth, as well as consumer products, ...

heart of the issue: what is friction? At its heart friction has to be a quantum mechanical phenomena since the forces that oppose motion and generate Brownian motion are the direct result of ...
