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 […]
Decreasing water consumption is a key theme in today’s world, as we deal with the ever-growing concern of water scarcity. Water scarcity is the inability of freshwater sources to meet the water demand of the […]
Single-use plastics have a bad reputation for contributing to the earth’s environmental and pollution issues. With the world’s ever-vigilant focus on protecting the environment, society is determined to halt the use of single-use plastics, such […]
