Scientists Have Found a Flaw in a 300-Year-Old Law of Physics, and It’s Changing How Friction Works.
For more than three hundred years, Amonons first law has been one of the most reliable principles of physics. Written by the French physicist Guillaume Amontons in his 1699 book De la résistance causée dans les machines, the law states that the force of friction is directly proportional to the applied load, which means that … Read more
