Friction welding uses frictional heat to forge parts together without melting them. Engineers can use friction welding to join dissimilar materials and tailor a design’s material properties.

Researchers from Uppsala University in Sweden can now reveal the mechanism behind the curved path of a curling stone. The discovery by the researchers, who usually study friction and wear in ...

The less work required to translate an object, the better. Avoiding sliding friction — a major sinkhole of applied force for motion — is accomplished through rolling. A: Ironically, with increased ...
