Robots acting as macroscale analogs of active nanoparticles stop moving through friction alone, revealing a self-sustained cooling effect without external input. (Nanowerk News) How can a horde of ...

Friction is defined as the resistance to relative motion between two bodies of contact. The force of friction is independent of the area of surfaces in contact and is directly proportional to the ...

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume. Friction is a force that exists when two surfaces rub up against each other. For example, this cup on ...

Science presenter Jon Chase explains friction. He describes how friction opposes or prevents motion, and demonstrates the force in action with an experiment involving two interleaved books.
