Kathryn Jezer-Morton recently wrote a viral article for The Cut saying that we should all try to make 2026 the year of “friction maxxing.” Here's why she's right.
Friction is a key phenomenon in applied physics, whose origin has been studied for centuries. Until now, it has been understood that mechanical wear-resistance and fluid lubrication affect friction, ...

Water flows more easily through narrower carbon nanotubes than larger ones and we have struggled to explain why. Now, one team has an answer: it may all be due to quantum friction. Friction in its ...
