Friction without contact discovered as magnetic forces break a 300-year-old law
(www.sciencedaily.com)
Sorry, I'm still not seeing the merit in this article/paper.
This finding is just that in special circumstances those electromagnetic fuzzy things can be a lot further apart when they interfere with each other.
I don't see what's new? Bulk magnetic forces vs atomic magnetic forces have been known to have different strengths for a very long time now.
