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 ...

It makes sense to think that reducing the friction in an engine, transmission, axle, and transfer case, will result in more power available to the wheels. While correct in theory, several industry ...

One type of friction can waste energy even when two perfectly smooth surfaces move against each other, but researchers are ...

Lubricants are substances available in solid, semi-solid, liquid, or gaseous states, and they play a crucial role in reducing friction and wear between moving surfaces. These substances are essential ...

Controlled-slip differentials (CSD) improve car operation under wheel slipping conditions. The performance of CSD's is dependent upon two criteria associated with clutch friction: "chatter" and ...

Lubricants are widely used to reduce the friction of mechanical parts, especially in mining, industrial, manufacturing and automotive spaces, and are essential for the protection of ...

The friction modifiers market encompasses additives used to reduce friction and wear in mechanical systems, improving efficiency and extending component life. These are widely used in automotive, ...

Through a multi-university collaboration, researchers at Virginia Tech have discovered a new, solid lubricating mechanism that can reduce friction in machinery at extremely high temperatures. It works ...

The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) demands the development of specialized lubricants to meet their unique operating conditions. Unlike internal combustion engines, electric drivetrains feature ...

"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 ...

Market valued at $6.43B in 2024, projected 5.10% CAGR growth driven by synthetic formulations, bio-based adoption, and ...

Over the period of time, lubricants gets contaminated with dust particles, sludge, and other particles and hence need to be removed and replaced periodically to enhance smoother operations of ...
