A specially equipped Volvo VHD 430 totes a Sideway-force Coefficient Routine Investigation Machine (SCRIM) – to evaluate friction on roadways to determine whether highway improvements could reduce ...

Sensors provide real-time, non-contact temperature data during machining and welding, improving accuracy and efficiency. The technology is adaptable for friction stir welding, enabling precise thermal ...

“Networks of interconnected filaments are everywhere in biological and bioengineered systems, such as connective tissues, spider webs, and scaffolds for tissue growth, as well as consumer products, ...

Nanotribology is the study of friction, wear, and lubrication at the nanoscale. It focuses on understanding and controlling the interactions between surfaces in relative motion when the contact area ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – An engineer at Ohio State University recently demonstrated the world's first method for directly measuring friction between tiny microelectromechanical-system (MEMS) parts. Using an ...

Topological insulators are innovative materials that conduct electricity on the surface, but act as insulators on the inside. Physicists have begun investigating how they react to friction. Their ...
