"...sipping through a straw defies all the previously known laws for the resistance or friction of flow through a pipe or tube."

"The finger snap occurs in only seven milliseconds, more than twenty times faster than the blink of an eye, which takes more than 150 milliseconds."

Examining the collapse of the erupting volcano Kīlauea's caldera allowed researchers to confirm current ideas about friction's role at earthquake faults.

Researchers have discovered a new law of physics that accounts of the friction that occurs when robots grip wet objects.

It's been a mystery for more than 2,500 years, but researchers have figured out what's going on when friction causes static electricity.
