Researchers have uncovered friction without contact—driven entirely by magnetic interactions. As two magnetic layers slide, ...

Researchers found friction can occur without contact, driven by magnetic dynamics, and does not always increase with load. The effect could enable controllable, wear-free technologies.

The relationship between friction and load, quantified three centuries ago, has an exception when the interaction causes ...

Researchers at the University of Konstanz have uncovered a new mechanism of sliding friction: resistance to motion that arises without any mechanical contact, driven purely by collective magnetic ...

New method simulates electronic friction effects on quantum motion, explaining hydrogen diffusion on copper with relevance to catalysis and energy storage. (Nanowerk News) George Trenins and Mariana ...
