For more than 200 years, scientists have argued about a deceptively simple question: why does a sheet of frozen water let us ...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Dump baking soda into a glass of vinegar and a chemical reaction occurs. Molecules start a chaotic dance, bouncing and bumping into each other. Friction, which primes molecules for ...

(Nanowerk News) For 15 years, scientists have been baffled by the mysterious way water flows through the tiny passages of carbon nanotubes — pipes with walls that can be just one atom thick. The ...

For nearly two centuries, textbooks blamed icy spills on pressure and friction, but new simulations tell another story. The ...

The study of tribology, the science of friction, wear and lubrication, has increasingly benefitted from advances in molecular dynamics simulations, providing detailed atomistic insights into the ...
