Finger snapping is one of the fastest things the human body can do. Researchers studying the physics of finger snapping have learned that friction plays an intricately important role in the process. Such research could lead to the design of prosthetics that mimic the broad functionality of the human hand and the promise of bioinspired robots. Learn more at NSF’s “The Discovery Files.
