Dispersed nanoparticles have been shown to reduce boundary friction, [6] but they have not yet found widespread employment in industrial applications. [1] Reduction of frictional losses and through more efficient lubrication is a key target in order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. [7]
A lubricant (sometimes shortened to lube) is a substance that helps to reduce friction between surfaces in mutual contact, which ultimately reduces the heat generated when the surfaces move. It may also have the function of transmitting forces, transporting foreign particles, or heating or cooling the surfaces.
[5] [6] Contact between raised solid features, or asperities, can also occur, leading to a mixed-lubrication or boundary lubrication regime. Boundary lubrication is defined as the regime in which the load is carried by the surface asperities (high points) rather than by the lubricant. [ 7 ]
Energetically modified cement – Class of cements, mechanically processed to transform reactivity; Friction – Force resisting sliding motion; Friction drive – Mechanical power transmission by friction between components; Lubrication – The presence of a material to reduce friction between two surfaces.
The good news is there are ways to protect against and even reverse insulin resistance. That’s important because cells rely on insulin all day, every day, to effectively use glucose for fuel.
At least two people have died as severe storms and tornadoes tore through parts of Texas and Mississippi on Saturday, officials said, while a parade of atmospheric river-fueled storms batters the ...

Synovial fluid, also called synovia, is a viscous, non-Newtonian fluid found in the cavities of synovial joints.With its egg white–like consistency, [1] the principal role of synovial fluid is to reduce friction between the articular cartilage of synovial joints during movement. [2]
