You’d think writing for Hackaday means we probably don’t get surprised very often by projects… but then we see something we never thought was possible — in this case, the linear friction ...

Researchers from TU Wien (Vienna) have presented a new type of material with very special properties: The lubricant COK-47 is ...

Former Ohio State cornerback Denzel Burke detailed some of the changes and necessary friction that resulted in the Buckeyes' ...

All you need is a rotary tool. “Friction welding” is the process of rubbing two surfaces together until the friction alone has created enough heat to join them. Industrially, the method is ...

1.1 What is friction? Take this everyday example: when a coffee mug rests on a flat table, the kinetic frictional force is zero. There is no force trying to move the mug across the table, so there is ...

Watch this video to learn more about friction. Find out about different types of friction and how we can increase or reduce it. Friction is a force between two surfaces rubbing against each other.
