Researchers have demonstrated how to entirely suppress static friction between two surfaces. This means that even a minuscule force suffices to set objects in motion. Especially in micromechanical ...

Friction may not be the first problem we think of afflicting medical device design, but it is a real issue for many single-use medical devices like syringes, injection pens, and auto-injectors.

Friction is a force that resists the motion of one object against another. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Scientists began ...
