The friction on a graphene surface can be dynamically tuned using external electric fields, according to researchers. The friction on a graphene surface can be dynamically tuned using external ...

Researchers have uncovered friction without contact—driven entirely by magnetic interactions. As two magnetic layers slide, their internal forces compete, causing constant rearrangements that ...

Parts of devices that are perfectly smooth can still experience friction because of the electrons within them, but a new method may enable researchers to turn it down or fully turn it off. Controlling ...
