The field of nanofluidics is the study of the behavior, control and manipulation of fluids that are confined in extremely small structures. The dimensions of these minute structures typically range from 1 nanometer to 100 […]
Nature continues to shed light on the amazing and wide range of mechanisms employed in the world of plants and animals. Nanoscale (1 x 10 -7 or 3.937 x 10-8 inches) textured surfaces help insects […]
Energy harvesting (also sometimes called scavenging) is a process of energy derivation from the ambient sources, e.g., sunlight, wind, heat, mechanical vibrations, etc. The main idea is that devices can collect the energy present in […]

Recent research (https://doi.org/10.1007/s40544-017-0183-5) has shown that about 23% of the world’s total energy consumption comes from the tribological contacts (moving parts subject to friction and wear, such as bearings, gears, etc.). This energy is lost, […]
Xerostomia, or dry mouth, is a condition in which the salivary glands found in the mouth do not produce enough saliva to keep the mouth wet. The condition of dry mouth often occurs as a […]
