Researchers found that cycling water in nanopores of water-repellent silicon can convert mechanical energy into measurable electricity. (Nanowerk News) A European research team involving scientists ...
Experts from Germany and elsewhere are leveraging water flow friction on the nanoscale level with electrifying results that could power sensors and other tech without a battery. The innovation from ...
Friction is an everyday phenomenon; it allows drivers to stop their cars by breaking and dancers to execute complicated moves on various floor surfaces. It can, however, also be an unwanted effect ...
Of course, the study of friction is nothing new; and to explain the 20th-century crisis, and to understand where tribology ...
