Surface properties dictate a vast array of material characteristics that are crucial to performance, durability, and intended functionality across diverse industries. Properties such as friction, wear ...

Scientists have made an insight into superlubricity, where surfaces experience extremely low levels of friction. This could benefit future technologies by reducing energy lost to friction by moving ...

One of the biggest challenges in surface preparation is properly qualifying the application to ensure the right tooling is used for the job at hand. It’s also one of the first important steps and ...

For decades mathematicians have searched for a specific pair of surfaces that can’t be transformed into each other in four-dimensional space. Now they’ve found them. In geometry and the closely ...
