In a perfect world, every medical device component would be manufactured to exact dimensional specifications without variation. Sadly, because the world is far from perfect, engineers design ...

"Broken nanodiamonds are forever," or so says a team of scientists at the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory. By combining broken nanodiamonds with two-dimensional molybdenum ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Researchers have created a new type of non-liquid lubricant that has been shown to reduce friction and wear significantly under the extreme conditions found in various ...

Spray your car window tracks with silicone spray or dry Teflon. Silicone stays slick even in cold weather, so windows slide smoothly, lessening the wear and tear on your window motors. Lower the ...

Drylubricants can give design engineers and manufacturers a solution to thefamiliar design and production challenge of stacked tolerances. Tolerancesrefer to the permissible limit or limits of ...

Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory combined nanodiamonds with layers of molybdenum disulfide layers to create a very-low-friction dry lubricant that lasts so long it could almost be confused ...
