Science Friction is a studio album by saxophonist Tim Berne which was recorded in 2001 and released on Berne's Screwgun label.

[1] The AllMusic review awarded the album 41⁄2 stars stating "in the case of Science Friction, the result is yet another peak in his recording career -- although when one considers Berne's other releases of the early '00s, the peak looks more like a plateau".

[2] The All About Jazz review said that "Compared to Berne's earlier efforts, Science Friction represents a high-water mark.

Berne remains one of the most distinctive voices in modern jazz, who—best of all—seems to have an uncanny ability to assemble sympathetic musical collaborators who share his vision".
