STLE is showcasing—for the first time—a photo/imaging project at the 2025 STLE Annual Meeting & Exhibition of visually striking images and designs derived from tribology and lubrication research. This initiative highlights the unexpected beauty within the field of lubrication, friction, and wear, celebrating the artistic side of scientific discovery.
We invite everyone to submit their most captivating tribology-related images for display at the conference. Images can be varied—from high quality SEM images to unusual lab instrumentation setups to 3D simulation models and more.
