"Specifically, we wanted to know if we could create energy from friction in amphiphile-modified materials. It turns out we could not only generate electricity, but we could do so while also ...

Regenerative braking leverages the electric motor's ability to function in reverse as a generator. When the driver applies ...

Electric bikes have increased in popularity ... which together power a friction drive which clamps against the rear tire to spin it directly. This keeps the weight distribution of the bike more ...

Friction is a force that opposes motion. It is present whenever two surfaces rub over each other, such as when you rub your hands together, or when you apply the brakes on a bike or in a car.
