Soft Matter in a Tight Spot
DOI: 10.1063/1.882747
My friends thought I was crazy when I began, ten years ago, to work on friction and lubrication—words that seemed to evoke the triviality of replacing the dirty oil in one’s automobile. What could be fundamental or beautiful about friction? In this article, I try to explain why the subject still fascinates me.
