Special congratulations are going to Professor Jay Fineberg and Professor Baruch Meerson, who were recently elected APS Fellows Why this is an important honor? Because 1. Only 0. 1% of membership becomes Fellows, 2. Scientific VIPs include this fact in their CV and biography

Some recollections about own approach to friction Jay’s abstract stimulated recollecting of some ideas on friction that excited me at first as a schoolboy: energy of such motion determines the friction coefficient
