Friction usually announces itself through contact. A chair scraping across a floor, a tire gripping asphalt, a hand sliding ...
Researchers used a nonlinear metasurface to experimentally demonstrate skyrmions that can be switched between electric and magnetic modes in free-space toroidal terahertz light pulses. WASHINGTON — ...
Researchers have uncovered friction without contact—driven entirely by magnetic interactions. As two magnetic layers slide, their internal forces compete, causing constant rearrangements that ...
