If you want to know how to make a sneaker with better traction, just ask a snake. That's the theory driving new research by an expert who is studying snake skin to help engineers improve the design of ...

A research team led by CU Boulder has designed a new kind of synthetic “skin” as slippery as the scales of a snake. The research, published recently in the American Chemical Society journal Applied ...

Since his postdoctoral days at MIT, Hang Yu, associate professor of materials science and engineering, has been wrestling ...

Elisa Riedo, a Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, and her colleagues have uncovered a fundamental friction law that is helping to improve the knowledge of how energy is lost during ...

The phenomenon of friction, when studied on a nanoscale, is more complex than previously thought. When friction occurs, an object does not simply slide its surface over that of another, it also makes ...

The 6700-M Mini Loop is a compact bench system designed for precise measurement of friction pressure in slick water ...

This latest addition to the 6700 Friction Flow Loop product line delivers advanced testing capabilities in a portable, space-saving design.
