OAK RIDGE, Tennessee, June 8 (TNSjou) -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory issued the following news release:
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 drive trains to wind and hydroelectric turbines. It reduces the friction of steel rubbing on steel at least a hundredfold. The novel ORNL coating could . . .
