ETH Zurich scientists measure rolling friction in micrometer-sized particles, enhancing understanding of suspensions in ...

Materials scientists are measuring the rolling friction of tiny, micrometer-sized particles. These measurements permit them to better understand everyday products such as concrete.

Suspensions are widespread in industry and everyday life. By a suspension, materials scientists mean a liquid in which tiny, ...
