Friction is hard to predict and control, especially since surfaces that come in contact are rarely perfectly flat. New experiments demonstrate that the amount of friction between two silicon surfaces, ...

Researchers found friction can arise without contact, driven by magnetic dynamics, and doesn't always increase with load but peaks when magnetic ordering becomes frustrated. (Nanowerk News) ...
