Electric vehicles, while often considered a new phenomenon, have existed since the 1800s. At that point in time, electric vehicles outnumbered gasoline powered vehicles for many reasons. Electric vehicles did not have the same vibration, […]
A team of physicists at Purdue University has created the fastest spinning object ever made, taking them much closer to being able to measure the mysterious friction forces inside vacuum. This object is a small […]
As regulations regarding traditional automobiles and emissions become tighter around the world, the future of the internal combustion engine becomes more uncertain, which is a great concern to those involved in the lubricant business. However, […]
This is a summary of International Workshop: Contact Mechanics and Friction – Foundations and Applications that was organized by Professor Popov and his group at TU Berlin on 13-17 October 2019. The workshop held this […]
Superhard materials can cut, drill and clean other bodies. Besides, they hold potential for making scratch-safe coatings that could help guard costly equipment from damage. Science is finding a way to the development of new […]
A nanogenerator has set a new record by stretching in a manner similar to rubber band to more than 25 times its original length. This represents a 2500% stretchability factor, which beats the previous record […]
