Superlubricity Research Offers More Energy Efficiency
January 23, 2024 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… University of Leicester scientists have made an insight into superlubricity, where surfaces experience extremely low levels of friction. This could benefit future technologies by reducing energy lost to friction by moving parts. As many of us are stepping carefully to avoid a slip and fall in the frosty weather, scientists led by the University […]
