Friction without contact discovered as magnetic forces break a 300-year-old law
Researchers have uncovered friction without contact—driven entirely by magnetic interactions. As two magnetic layers slide, their internal forces compete, causing constant rearrangements that dramatically increase resistance at certain distances. This creates a surprising peak in friction instead of a steady rise, breaking a long-standing physics law.
The scientific community has previously stated that many magnetic compounds are likely yet to be discovered. Now they have been identified, of course, using artificial intelligence.
How do magnetic forces create frictionless motion?
Friction without contact via magnetic forces Researchers have reported a new mechanism of sliding friction in which resistance to motion emerges even when there is no mechanical contact between surfaces. The finding challenges a long standing view—friction is traditionally explained by physical…
It is a scientific certainty that held good for more than three centuries, engraved in the marble by physicist Guillaume Amontons in 1699: the heavier an object, the harder it is to move. Yet, a team of researchers from the University of Constance, Germany, has just highlighted a spectacular exception to [...]
