20 Minutes With Michael Burkinshaw
This senior tribologist discusses surface engineering, turbochargers and the best ways to evaluate a tribosystem.

LUBRICATION FUNDAMENTALS

A little fretting about fretting
Jet engine manufacturers have devised tribological methods to reduce failure in their products due to fretting wear.

WEBINARS 

The real reasons why hydraulic fluids fail
And strategies to stop problems before they start.

FEATURE ARTICLE 

Beneath the surface: Why contact mechanics and tribology are a natural match
Leveraging both disciplines together can yield results neither can achieve alone.

TECH BEAT I 

Bouncing batteries
An extensive evaluation has been conducted to see if there is a relationship between the health of the battery and how high it bounces.

TECH BEAT II 

High-power-factor thermoelectric material
Researchers evaluate a new thermoelectric material based on magnesium, tin and germanium.

TECH BEAT III 

Hydrogen production from low-cost biofuel
An alternative strategy more efficiently produces hydrogen from biomass.
