Hard, but highly elastic form of carbon developed
14.06.2017 TriboNet

Washington, DC— A team including several Carnegie scientists has developed a form of ultrastrong, lightweight carbon that is also elastic and electrically conductive. A material with such a unique combination of properties could serve a […]

    Snake skin inspired texture to control friction

    22.06.2018
    If you want to know how to make a sneaker with better traction in the rain, just ask a snake. That’s the theory driving the research of Hisham Abdel-Aal, PhD, an associate teaching professor from [...]

    Illusion of static friction: Does it really exist?

    13.01.2021
    Static friction might be an illusion made by the rotation of kinetic friction, even though, since the time of Charles-Augustin de Coulomb (1736–1806), we have believed that there exist two types of solid friction. Nakano [...]
  • Renewable Oils Developed by Scientists to Use in Lubricants

    20.05.2019
    Lubricants are used virtually in most machines. The refrigerator compressors, plane thrusters, engine gears, and wind turbines all depend on lubricants to work properly. There is a countless number of crucial agricultural equipment, transportation vessels, [...]

    Tribology of Earthquakes

    19.08.2019
    Earthquakes are the sudden shaking of the ground caused by seismic waves passing through Earth’s rocks. These seismic waves occur when energy stored in the Earth’s crust is released suddenly, typically when large masses of [...]

    Solving the Problem of Slippery Train Tracks Due to Fallen Leaves

    19.10.2020
    Friction is the force experienced when two surfaces slide, or try to slide, across each other. We are thankful for friction when we put our foot on the brake to stop the car, or when [...]
