Developer and T3 founder Theo has stopped trying to fight his workflow — and the result is a spike from 1–3 pull requests per week to 52 in a ...

In today's Miscellaneous Nutrients, we read about surfaces that reduce friction, recyclable stretchable threads, and an open infrastructure for metabolome analysis data. What they have in common is ...

Usually, friction requires two surfaces rubbing against each other. But researchers have now demonstrated that friction can also arise in the quantum realm without any physical contact at all. When ...

A research team in Bochum, Germany has unexpectedly found that light can slow down movements in the nanoworld. This is due to quantum friction, a phenomenon that has been poorly understood until now.

Researchers have uncovered friction without contact—driven entirely by magnetic interactions. As two magnetic layers slide, their internal forces compete, causing constant rearrangements that ...

Researchers at the University of Konstanz have uncovered a new mechanism of sliding friction: resistance to motion that arises without any mechanical contact, driven purely by collective magnetic ...

Thread is a protocol designed to connect smart home devices in a wireless mesh network. It works much like Wi-Fi but requires less power. With Thread, devices from any manufacturer can create a ...
