Making extremely thing lubricating films predictable: Extension of the Reynolds equation by a non-linear wall slip law
When an electric vehicle accelerates, the motor generates maximum forces and enormous pressures act on the gears of the electric drivetrain. Surface meets surface, metal meets metal. If there were no lubricating film to allow the gears to slide more.....»»
Scientists develop functional micro-arrays for efficient lithium metal anode interface
Lithium (Li) metal anodes, with the highest specific capacity (3,860 mAh g-1) and the lowest redox potential (-3.04 V vs. standard hydrogen electrode), are considered a potential alternative for the next generation high-energy-density lithium batteri.....»»
Grinding coffee with a splash of water reduces static electricity and makes more consistent and intense espresso: Study
The fracturing and friction of coffee beans during grinding generates electricity that causes coffee particles to clump together and stick to the grinder. Researchers report Dec. 6 in the journal Matter that coffee beans with higher internal moisture.....»»
Recent advances in built-in electric-field-assisted photocatalytic dry reforming of methane
Methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are the two main greenhouse gases that cause global warming. Dry reforming of methane (DRM) technology can simultaneously utilize two greenhouse gases to produce hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO), meaning D.....»»
