In "Friction," tribologist Jennifer Vail shows how the fundamental force that resists motion keeps driving us forward.

When starting this ice challenge, most people just step on the side of the bowl and slide down to the bottom. Then you’re ...

In this video, we break down the concept of the coefficient of friction in AP Physics 1, explaining how static and kinetic friction work and how they affect motion. Clear examples and reasoning help ...

Explore the half Atwood machine and learn how friction affects acceleration! This physics tutorial explains key concepts, calculations, and practical insights for students and enthusiasts. #Physics #A ...

For the first time, physicists in China have virtually eliminated the friction felt between two surfaces at scales visible to the naked eye. In demonstrating "structural superlubricity," the team, led ...

How much do you know about friction? Jennifer R. Vail's charming, if sometimes technical, "biography" of the force showcases its amazing and largely overlooked role in everything from climate change ...

UEFA calculates the coefficient of each association each season based on the clubs' results in the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Conference League. The season coefficients from ...

Abstract: In the finite-time position tracking applications, the performance of the servo system is significantly affected by the friction. Meanwhile, the inevitable friction model parameters ...

Abstract: This letter proposes an online friction coefficient identification framework for legged robots on slippery terrain. The approach formulates the optimization problem to minimize the sum of ...
