Diamond coatings help reduce friction and wear on tools, bearings, and seals. Lubricating diamond with water considerably lowers friction. The reasons for this are not yet fully understood. The ...

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 ...

High-entropy alloys, characterized by high-entropy, lattice distortion, sluggish diffusion, and the "cocktail" effect due to their multiple elements, are promising for various applications, including ...
