Primes¶
- Damping
- and microscopic damping (atomic friction, molecular viscosity)
This sourcePioneering atomic-scale picture of friction (atoms dragged over potential-energy barriers), precursor to the Prandtl–Tomlinson model and modern tribology.

- Hysteresis
- . Biology and physiology Cell-fate hysteresis in development; hysteresis in neural firing thresholds; membrane potential hysteresis in pacemaker cells. Nanotribology and friction Molecular-scale hysteresis as friction mechanism
This sourceProposes a microscopic picture of friction as the dragging of atoms and molecules over potential-energy barriers; early attempt to connect macroscopic friction to molecular-scale mechanisms; precursor to modern tribology and microscopic damping theory.
