FEATURES

20 MINUTES

20 Minutes With Capt. Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper
This mechanical engineer turned astronaut lubricated a balky mechanism on the International Space Station—while spacewalking 250 miles above Earth.

LUBRICATION FUNDAMENTALS

It’s all in the numbers (But can we believe them?)
Being consistently consistent is trickier than it sounds.

WEBINARS

So you want to develop engine oil engine tests?
It’s complex, frustrating, time-consuming—and ultimately rewarding.

WEBINARS

The advantages of synthetic metal-removal fluids
Low foaming, no misting and rapid heat dissipation are among the benefits.

FEATURE ARTICLE 

Onsite oil reclamation
How oil reclamation services keep operations running smoothly, reduce liability and produce major cost savings.

TECH BEAT I 

Superlubricity: Seen at the macroscale for the first time
Computational simulations were conducted to explore the underlying mechanism of macroscale superlubricity.

TECH BEAT II 

Greater efficiency potential with a rotating liner engine
Researchers are in the final stages of developing a beta prototype.

TECH BEAT III 

Effective nanocatalysts with reduced precious metal content
A new type of nanocatalyst has been developed to maximize performance without reducing surface area.
