You’d think writing for Hackaday means we probably don’t get surprised very often by projects… but then we see something we never thought was possible — in this case, the linear friction ...

The friction behavior of hydrogel layers shows promise for superlubricity, potentially replacing conventional lubricants and ...

Ice causes very little friction, which is why it is easy to slip over on an icy day. However, this is a good thing for ice skating and sledging. Friction is a force between two surfaces that are ...

Many everyday items, from home appliances to building materials and hydraulic lines, contain small cylindrical metal parts ...

However, EVs still produce particulate matter due to friction and wear of the road, tyres, and brakes.' One of the main appeals of an electric vehicle, over a diesel or petrol alternative ...

Thus, sliding friction coefficients from 0.4 to 0.6 (DIN 18032) are recommended. Biomechanical analyses have shown that higher sliding friction values produce higher joint moments and thereby probably ...

New research finds that electric vehicles generally produce less non-exhaust emissions compared with gasoline-powered vehicles.
