what happens at the interface between two parallel objects

I’m so loving these answers so far. Y’all are SO MUCH BETTER than Google, who REALLY disappointed me.

i mean this is dreadful… so it bends the tip of the probe on an atomic level. yeah but if you keep doing it in a non-lab environment, you’ll create wear spots where water can get in and bacteria can collect and interesting things can happen…

never mind that my question was just about the VERY DEFINITION OF FRICTION… I didn’t expect to see friction as the answer.

It was annoying. I had this GREAT question that just happened to be the LITERAL DEFINITION of friction. But I didn’t want friction as the answer.
I mean, I _know_ it’s friction but I was looking past friction to macro effects over long stretches of time… not lab needles under an electron imcroscope.
