Atomic scale deformation responsible for surface roughness
04.05.2020 TriboNet

[avatar user=”Aydar Akchurin” size=”original” align=”left” link=”https://www.linkedin.com/in/aydar-akchurin/”] The article was written by Dr. Aydar Akchurin[/avatar] Most of the natural or engineered surfaces are not perfect, meaning they are rough. The surface roughness was found across many […]

Lubrication at nanoscale
Atomistic Tribology
Physicists are one step closer to understand lubrication at nanoscale
27.04.2020 TriboNet

[avatar user=”Aydar Akchurin” size=”original” align=”left” link=”https://www.linkedin.com/in/aydar-akchurin/”] The article was written by Dr. Aydar Akchurin[/avatar] The famous picture of transportation of an Egyptian statue to the grave of Tehuti-Hetep, El-Bersheh indicates that the concept of lubrication […]

Rough and Smooth Particles
Atomistic Tribology
Roughness of the solid particles controls the viscosity of suspension
28.05.2018 TriboNet

The internet is full of videos of people having fun running over white slime. It almost looks as if they were walking on water. But when they stand still, they slowly begin to sink. The […]

Strongest bio-based material
Atomistic Tribology
Bio-based material stronger than steel and spider silk altogether
16.05.2018 TriboNet

Researchers at KTH have produced a bio-based material that is reported to surpass the strength of all known bio-based materials whether fabricated or natural, including wood and spider silk. Working with cellulose nanofibre (CNF), the […]
