FEATURES
COMMENTARY
Who will train tomorrow’s tribologists?
More programs like the tribology minor at Auburn University are needed if our overlooked science is to keep the world moving.
LUBRICATION FUNDAMENTALS
Salesman: The self-made super sleuth?
The latex-glove manufacturer insisted his plant was OK and our product was the culprit.
WEBINARS
Fundamentals of base oils
A lubricant’s success depends on matching the right base oil to the application.
FEATURE
Thorough oil analysis
Why individual results are not individual when it comes to maintaining the health of your machinery.
FROM THE EDITOR
The 3,000-mile myth
Old habits die hard, but this one is apparently immortal.
TECH BEAT I
Minimization of dendrite formation in lithium-sulfur batteries
An immediate reaction between multiwalled carbon nanotubes and the lithium anode leads to development of an enhanced SEI layer.
TECH BEAT II
Electricity generated from salt water and superhydrophobic surface
The electric voltage was created when positive ions flowing in the water move past negative charges in the superhydrophobic surface.
TECH BEAT III
Development of a superalloy with superior heat resistance
The nickel-based superalloy also contains aluminum, cobalt, tantalum, ruthenium and rhenium.
