Imagine a soft velvet surface, intricate raised patterns and the richness of a Turkish tapestry – these are not elements one ...

Wear caused by friction is one of the main reasons for the failure of equipment and parts 1. Therefore, the research on friction reduction has attracted the attention of many scholars, mainly focusing ...

The magnetoresistance effect is the tendency of a material to change the value of its electrical resistance in an externally-applied magnetic field. It has been widely applied in sensors and hard disk ...

Improving efficiency is an eternal topic for compressors used in air conditioners, especially with the increased awareness of global warming, and a highly efficient compressor is strongly demanded to ...

Reporting in ACS Applied Polymer Materials, researchers evaluated seven different textures made up of microscopic-sized cones to see which ones could repel sewage water the best. In sewage pipes, ...

Irregularities present on a surface are often described as surface roughness or texture. These surface textures such as grooves and dimples impart friction, which is the force between two sliding ...

German scientists have investigated the role of surface texturing in perovskite-silicon tandem cells and have found that several new processes offer the ability to etch smaller, more uniform textures ...
