Superlubricity: The energy saving superhero for new products
24.01.2022 Clarissa Wright

The article is sponsored by Bruker. Friction is the great obstacle to overcome when testing new products with moving parts. While friction can never disappear completely, it may be possible to achieve ultralow friction: a […]

Percolation in Static Seals
20.12.2021 Dr Francesc Pérez-Ràfols

It might seem weird to talk about percolation through static seals in a Tribological context. After all, they are static: there is no rubbing, no tribos. However, there is much to learn about percolation through […]

Amino acid based ‘green’ lubricants
13.12.2021 Nikhil Kunapareddy

It is estimated that about 30% of world’s primary energy is consumed by excessive friction every year and about 60% of machines fail or stop for maintenance due to frictional damage. Above that, 50% of […]
