Friction is the key to cozy knits
colleague: Someone who works with another; a co-worker or team member. computer model: A program that runs on a computer that creates a model, or simulation, of a real-world feature, phenomenon or event. fabric: Any flexible material that is woven, knitted or can be fused into a sheet by heat or compression and drying. fiber: Something whose shape resembles a thread or filament. force: Some outside influence that can change the motion of an object, hold objects close to one another, or produce motion or stress in a stationary object. friction: The resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over or through another material (such as a fluid or a gas). Friction generally causes a heating, which can damage a surface of some material as it rubs against another. metastable: The state of some system that seems stable, but only as long as it undergoes no more than very small disturbances. Or a system that seems stable because it can remain unchanged for relatively long periods of time. physicist: A scientist who studies the …
