Recent medical device design incorporates single-use devices that make procedures less complicated. This often involves device design that is minimally invasive, meaning a device that is smaller and ...

In a perfect world, every medical device component would be manufactured to exact dimensional specifications without variation. Sadly, because the world is far from perfect, engineers design ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Researchers have created a new type of non-liquid lubricant that has been shown to reduce friction and wear significantly under the extreme conditions found in various ...

Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory combined nanodiamonds with layers of molybdenum disulfide layers to create a very-low-friction dry lubricant that lasts so long it could almost be confused ...

"Broken nanodiamonds are forever," or so says a team of scientists at the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory. By combining broken nanodiamonds with two-dimensional molybdenum ...

Nylok Corp. has introduced an anti-seize dry film lubricant for external and internal threaded parts that prevents galling, reduces torque scatter and cold welding during assembly, according to the ...
