This news release is available in German. For a car to accelerate there has to be friction between the tire and the surface of the road. The amount of friction generated depends on numerous factors, ...

Physicists have shown how liquids on solid surfaces can be made to slide over the surface a bit like a bobsleigh on ice. The key is to apply a coating at the boundary between the liquid and the ...

Artificial spheres that resemble living cells have been made from proteins by physicists at the University of Saarland in Germany. The structures could someday be used to encapsulate and transport ...
