Understanding liquid friction on solid surfaces is key for fluid transport, with recent findings highlighting the role of solid internal excitations. Authors use AFM to show that supercooled glycerol’s slip length on mica increases unexpectedly strongly with decreasing temperature. The observations suggest that resonating vibrations within surface play a key role in liquid friction, challenging existing models.
