Argonne Nano Design Works – Using Nanotechnology to Fight Friction and Wear

Diamond and graphene “nanoscrolls” could revolutionize lubrication. Friction and wear are terrible twins that bedevil any machinery with moving parts. Approximately 30 percent of a vehicle engine’s power is sacrificed to frictional loss, and wear is a consistent destroyer of engines and other parts. Argonne scientists have spent decades conducting cutting-edge research in tribology, seeking
