Peaks of energy dissipation arising from distortions of a charge density wave have been observed by oscillating the tip of an atomic force microscope a few nanometres above a surface of a layered ...

At Sabiha Gökçen Airport in Istanbul, Arup used triple friction pendulum devices to build the world’s largest seismically isolated building, The recent earthquake in Chile was much less damaging than ...

Topological insulators are innovative materials that conduct electricity on the surface, but act as insulators on the inside. Physicists have begun investigating how they react to friction. Their ...
