Scientists create a material that has near-zero friction at engineering scale
American researchers have improved upon their earlier graphene-based lubricant. Their revised formula can actually generate itself and has a longer useful lifespan compared to other solid lubricants, an article in Nanowerks reported. Superlubricity is a state where there is very little friction. A surface coated by a superlubricant is very slippery and barely gives off […]
