There's something in the way you move : horse racing and skiing are two sports where a better understanding of friction could work [PDF]
Have you ever had the experience of gliding effortlessly across a dance floor with a partner of rugby-player proportions, yet endured a swollen ankle minutes later from the quickstep of someone half the size? Why does one twin sister seem to be "hard" on

Characterization of crack nucleation in TA6V under fretting-fatigue loading using the potential drop technique [PDF]
Crack initiation in a Ti-6Al-4V alloy was investigated experimentally in fretting fatigue conditions. A cylinder-plane geometry was used for the contact, and partial slip conditions were considered.

Ultra‐High Friction and Adhesion in Hydrogel Layer Driven by Wet‐to‐Dry Transition Dynamics
This work reveals a critical wet‐to‐dry transition in polyacrylamide hydrogel layers that induces volumetric shrinkage, resulting in enhanced interfacial contact and dramatically increased friction and adhesion. Leveraging this transition enables strong, reversible gripping on diverse surfaces, offering new insights for hydrogel‐based gripping ...

Stuck on Glass: A Review of Polymer and Polymer Nanoparticle Composite Coatings in Glass Technology
Representation of the different regions during the withdrawal stage of dip coating. As the substrate is pulled upward out of the coating solution, the solution is either dragged up with it by surface forces or falls back into the container from gravitational forces.
