(Nanowerk News) 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 ...

CAMBRIDGE, England, July 22 (UPI) --Scribbled pages in a notebook of Leonardo da Vinci, previously dismissed as nonsense, have been revealed as the polymath's earliest musings on the laws of friction.

There's a popular conception of science as an enterprise with the ultimate goal of finding the grand laws of how the physical world behaves. But more often it's the reverse: the grand laws come first, ...
