SAN ANTONIO — March 6, 2023 —A Southwest Research Institute team has developed a mechanical testing device to analyze fluids and lubricants formulated for electric vehicles. The team modified a ...

Articular cartilage enables nearly frictionless joint motion by regulating how interstitial fluid pressurizes and supports mechanical loads. Loss of this function is a key contributor to ...

The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) demands the development of specialized lubricants to meet their unique operating conditions. Unlike internal combustion engines, electric drivetrains feature ...

Tests of a proposed friction-factor equation have shown it to be accurate for calculating pressure loss in turbulent flow for a pipeline transporting a non-Newtonian fluid, such as most crude oils and ...

For 15 years, scientists have been baffled by the mysterious way water flows through the tiny passages of carbon nanotubes — pipes with walls that can be just one atom thick. The streams have ...
