Friction is an intrinsic physical phenomenon to curling. Without it, objects in motion would move endlessly, without slowing down. This would cause many safety-related problems: Cars or trains could ...

Leibniz-Institut für Verbundwerkstoffe (IVW) has been active in the research field of fibre composites for more than 30 years, from the concept to the finished part. During this time, it has also been ...

All street-legal brake pads sold in the U.S. feature DOT-mandated friction codes and other data marked right on the parts. That's important info because the higher a brake pad's coefficient of ...
