(Phys.org) -- In the phenomenon of superlubricity, two solid surfaces can slide past each other with almost no friction. The effect occurs when the solid surfaces have crystalline structures and their ...

Researchers in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M University have demonstrated a breakthrough in ...

On the surface, hyperscale and microscale data centers seem like opposing ideas for the future of data centers. But the reality is that they are opposite sides of the same coin, or at least ...

In the ever-evolving landscape of technological innovation, the combination of precision engineering and additive manufacturing has given rise to a revolutionary concept: microscale 3D printing. This ...

Researchers have developed a microscale organic-inorganic hybridization strategy integrating biosafety, physiological ...

A new study finds that robust superlubricity can be achieved using graphite and hexagonal boron nitride, which exhibit ultra-low friction and wear. This is an important milestone for future ...

Microscale implantable drug delivery systems (IDDSs) have advanced the control of drug delivery parameters, providing better disease control through more accurate, targeted and less painful drug ...

Knots are known for boosting the strength of materials, from the tiniest twists of DNA to (potentially) the very fabric of the universe. Now, Caltech engineers have developed a new material consisting ...

Victor M. Bright of the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering will deliver his Distinguished Research Lecture “Microscale Sensors and Machines” virtually on Tuesday, November 2 from 4–5 ...
