Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have invented a coating that could dramatically reduce friction in common load-bearing systems with moving parts, from vehicle ...

High-tech coatings for engine and driveline parts have been around for decades, but they have had a voodoo mystique about them that scares off the typical hot rodder. It's kind of like the stigma ...

A material's surface is treated in order to provide a number of properties, such as low friction, hardness, or corrosion resistance. The rule in the past has been that one treatment gives one property ...

Robots can be programmed to coat almost any part shape, no matter how complex, at any speed needed for efficient processing. Applying a coating to a medical device or instrument can improve the device ...
