20 MINUTES
20 Minutes With James Morley
This “accidental tribologist” and director at Phoenix Tribology discusses continuous learning and the evolution of tribotesting.

LUBRICATION FUNDAMENTALS
Conservation of angular momentum
Linear momentum is straightforward, but angular momentum makes the world go round.

WEBINAR

Atomic-scale mechanisms of adhesion, friction and tribochemistry
Advancement in these areas will shape a generation of MEMS and semiconductor technology devices that merge high performance with exceptional reliability. 

FEATURE ARTICLE

Battery energy storage systems thermal management and degradation optimization
Innovative solutions are in development to address the challenges of battery energy storage.

TECH BEAT I 

Optimization of additive manufacturing using AI
A new machine learning technique has been developed that facilitates the optimization of additive manufacturing using laser directed energy deposition.

TECH BEAT II 

Potential sustainable pathway to ethylene oxide
Modification of the existing silver catalyst with a different transition metal has now improved selectivity and conversion to ethylene oxide.

TECH BEAT III

Energy storage: Abandoned oil and gas wells
Researchers believe that oil and gas wells are suitable for adiabatic compressed air energy storage because they offer advantages such as stability and natural insulation, allowing them to retain compressed air.

SOUNDING BOARD
