The world of quantum physics is already mysterious, but what happens when that strange realm of subatomic particles is put ...

For nearly two centuries, scientists believed that ice becomes slippery because pressure or friction melts its surface. New research from Saarland University overturns this idea. For more than a ...

Led by Martin Müser, PhD, a materials simulation professor at Saarland University, the team of physicists discovered that ...

For over a hundred years, schoolchildren around the world have learned that ice melts when pressure and friction are applied.
