Leonardo's universal friction coefficient is found to be universal after all!

Submitted by Mike Ciavarella on
It turns out that friction coefficient 0.25 suggested as universal by Leonardo da Vinci more than 500 years ago has some universaility, as minimum friction coefficient for any granular material: it makes me proud as italian ;) 
I guess it would be interesting to show this experimental result also theoretically or numerically, any interest?
