A 300-year-old law of physics just got outsmarted, by magnets. Scientists proved friction doesn't always play by the rules.

When load increases steadily, so does friction, but in the realm of magnetization dynamics, things aren’t so simple.

Researchers have uncovered friction without contact—driven entirely by magnetic interactions. As two magnetic layers slide, ...

New research shows that 3D-printed metasurfaces can form flexible invisibility cloaks that conform to any complex shape. And ...

A new programmable metasurface performs dynamic beamforming and radar cross-section reduction across five frequency bands in ...

Researchers at the University of Konstanz have uncovered a new mechanism of sliding friction: resistance to motion that ...

For the uninitiated few who have somehow, blissfully, managed to avoid any and all social media of late, this is the latest ...

The rise of AI fruit dramas is, at the very least, very annoying and, at the very worst, deeply concerning. Aside from the ...

Accurately measuring small shifts in biological markers, like proteins and neurotransmitters, or harmful chemicals in the water supply, can identify critical problems before they have a chance to ...

As student demand for the FIU experience increases and research productivity continues to skyrocket, the university is investing in its facilities and ensuring that all its campuses are ready to […] ...

Researchers developed a light-responsive hydrogel that mimics tissue flexibility and structure. The material enables precise control over cell environments, helping to more accurately study drug ...

Our diplomatic editor on how global instability feeds into conflict in so many parts of the world, and whether the threshold for a major global war has been met ...
