"Frustrated" Lubricant Molecules Offer New Strategy for Reducing
Friction in Mechanical Devices
For
decades, researchers have struggled to reduce friction in mechanical
systems by improving the chemical composition of the lubricants
used to separate moving parts. Now, an atomic-scale study of thin-film
lubricants suggests a promising new strategy.
