Wear in nanoscale: optimum AFM tip roughness

07.03.2016

Wear is a gradual removal of the material of the bodies during their interaction. The process appears in many mechanical systems, ranging from large scales, as in wind mills, to nanoscales, as in the AFM [...]
Tribology at Work on the Strings

12.07.2017

There’s something about the moan and wail of a good gut-bucket slide guitar riff that can grab you by the innards and not let go. Any tribologist worth his salt is likely to have another [...]

18.07.2017

This article explains the vital role Friction has to play in Rock Climbing. Thanks to Richard Jones and Glen Harding for their input. Friction is the magic ingredient in bouldering and rock climbing. It’s what [...]
Friction Forces Between 2D Materials and Liquids

25.05.2020

2D materials deserved an interest in material science and other disciplines due to their exciting electronic, mechanical, and optical properties. The unique behavior of these materials originate from very strong in-plane atoms interactions and very [...]
Tribology in Animal World: Dietary Habits of Lepidosauria Studied via Dental Microwear
