The question is not how to eliminate friction. The question is how to manage it so it becomes traction and traction becomes forward motion.

In "Friction," tribologist Jennifer Vail shows how the fundamental force that resists motion keeps driving us forward.

Irregularities present on a surface are often described as surface roughness or texture. These surface textures such as grooves and dimples impart friction, which is the force between two sliding ...

Measuring 63.5 (H) x 88.9 (W) x 266.7 (L) mm, the Dover MAB-100 linear motor stage uses an air-bearing guideway to deliver friction-free straight-line motion up to 100 mm in length. The device ...

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 ...

Torque required to put a bearing into motion from rest is usually higher than that required to keep it running once it starts. Starting friction, therefore, has an important influence on the power ...
