When I began my career in the pro-audiovisual industry two and a half decades ago, innovation was steady but slow. New AV solutions were conceived, developed, launched and matured over several years.

A research team led by Prof. Tian-Bao Ma from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Tsinghua University has proposed a novel strategy to reduce friction and wear by inducing dynamic electronic ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have invented a coating that could dramatically reduce friction in common load-bearing systems with moving parts, from vehicle ...

Retailers are striving to make 2024 the year for frictionless shopping. To do that, they must incorporate the latest technologies that people need to do their jobs without interrupting any lines of ...

Examples of the main engine components on which vehicle manufacturers and suppliers are working to reduce friction components include the following (Truett 2013): Smaller, low friction bearings: ...

Vibration‐assisted friction control encompasses techniques that employ mechanical oscillations to modulate and often reduce the resistance encountered at interfaces between contacting solids. By ...

Friction behaviour in sheet metal forming encompasses the interaction between the deforming sheet and tool surfaces, critically influencing material flow, tool wear, energy consumption and final ...
