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 ...

Only by bringing friction back into the conversation can we responsibly build out new technologies with growth potential and staying power.

This useful study integrates experimental methods from materials science with psychophysical methods to investigate how frictional stabilities influence tactile surface discrimination. The authors ...

It’s the friction on the astroturf ... you’re more than welcome to rent the slope and ski on your own. You just have to tell us how fast you want it and how steep you want it.

Using various methods to adjust tire friction, we gradually increase the slope angle to intensify the task. The ultimate challenge involves automating the treadmill with two Lego color distance ...
