Oxford Instruments Asylum Research Releases New Application Note: Atomic Force Microscopy Investigation of Tribofilm Formation
April 2,2020 (Santa Barbara, CA) Friction between the surfaces of mechanical systems is a costly global problem. It is not just that the resulting wear leads to premature equipment failures. Friction is also one of the leading factors that reduce energy efficiency, thought to account for more than 20% of worldwide energy consumption. Scientists and engineers in the field of tribology look for...
