The measuring tip of an atomic force microscope with a specially designed holder in which a spherical particle is “trapped”. The rights to the images always remain with the person referred to ...

Friction is a force between two surfaces that are sliding ... is less wear on the car's moving parts and less heat produced. Image caption, Ice causes very little friction, which is why it ...

Schematic illustration of Friction Force Microscopy (FFM). The AFM cantilever, a small diving board-like structure about 200 micrometers long, 50 micrometers wide, and 1 micrometer thick, has a sharp ...

Biotin (blue lines) is pulled out of a streptavidin protein (yellow) via a polymer linker (gray line), which is bound to a cantilever tip of an atomic force microscope (gray triangle).

As the disk slips, there is a friction force acting to the left on the disk at the contact point. During slipping, the friction force opposes the direction of motion of the contact point - that is, ...

Although humans have been harnessing its power since rubbing two sticks together to build the first fire, the physics of friction remain largely in the dark. Now, Brandeis research is showing that ...
