Sliding friction between crystal lattices and the physics of cold ion traps are so far non-overlapping fields. Two sliding lattices may either stick and show static friction or slip with dynamic ...

Using high-speed photography and digital image correlation techniques, engineers show that friction along a faultline has a complex evolution during an earthquake that is dictated, in part, by slip ...

Friction is a pervasive nonlinearity in mechanical systems, arising at interfaces from the microscale asperities of surfaces and manifesting in macroscopic performance degradation, wear and control ...
