The Science of Friction on Graphene

12.08.2017

Sliding on flexible graphene surfaces has been uncharted territory until now, Graphene, a two-dimensional form of carbon sheets just one atom thick, has been the subject of widespread research, in large part because of its [...]
Relativistic Tribology, Tribo Plasma

12.02.2016

Gravitational waves were proved to exist, thus validating one more prediction by Albert Einstein and his general theory of relativity! Is there any relation between the relativity and Tribology? It looks like there is! “Micromechanisms [...]
Modern Version of Damascus Steels Produced by Additive Manufacturing

05.10.2020

Damascus steel is a famous type of steel, which was easily recognized by the wavy or watery alternating dark and light pattern on the metal. The pattern often looked like flowing water, a ladder pattern, [...]
Three-dimensional subatomic scale AFM can measure friction

11.05.2017

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is an extremely sensitive technique that allows us to image materials and/or characterize their physical properties on the atomic scale by sensing the force above material surfaces using a precisely controlled [...]
Unmasking the Mechanism Behind Human Saliva Lubrication

13.04.2020

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 [...]
