Introduction The study of tribology at the wheel-rail interface holds immense significance in both scientific and industrial realms, primarily due to its critical implications for safety and economic considerations. An intriguing observation from an analysis […]
Introduction DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) films are a type of thin coating that possesses properties resembling those of diamond. They are composed primarily of carbon atoms and exhibit a wide range of hardness and friction values, […]
INTRODUCTION Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have the potential to drive the future of electricity generation and nanotechnology. We already see studies aiming TENGs with innovation strategies like surface microstructure treatment, multilayer design and additive pump design […]
Nanotechnology has gifted the mankind with particles which are much smaller yet more powerful as they exhibit superior mechanical, electrical, optical properties as compared to the micro particles. It has been reported that the bulk […]
Graphite is a widely used material in automotive and manufacturing industries. Because of its frictional resistance, good mechanical behavior and high temperature, It is used in applications like mechanical seals more specifically in gas face […]
Friction is inevitable but wear is controllable! This is the mantra used to develop any mechanical system, especially when they involve rotating and sliding parts. Machine lubrication works wonders in such systems, they help in […]
The push toward low powered, energy-saving devices has been a direction the electronics industry has always pursued. The switch to low powered LED lighting is a good example of this trend. Another avenue is the […]
Electricity is considered as a basic necessity for humans just like food, water and shelter. Ironically, if we think about it we need electricity to make food, water and shelter nowadays. In its early days, […]
The rate of flow of different types of fluids moving along pipes has critical ramifications when you consider physiological functions like the cardiovascular system. The speed of blood flow through the heart and its network […]
Nanofibers are tiny fibers with diameters measured in the nanometer range. They can be generated by a variety of methods, from various different polymers, therefore they can exhibit different physical properties with different application potentials. […]
