Research on friction, put on and lubrication
Tribology is the science of friction, put on and lubrication. It is a vital discipline for the event of supplies and parts that must carry out effectively and last more, for instance in manufacturing, power programs and transport know-how.
By learning what occurs at surfaces and interfaces, researchers can develop options that cut back put on, save power and contribute to extra resource-efficient use of supplies.
Presentations on the platform’s capabilities
The inauguration day started within the Siegbahn Lecture Hall, the place Staffan Jacobson and Urban Wiklund welcomed members. This was adopted by shows on the background to the platform, its gear and its areas of software.
Olle Eriksson, WISE co-director and professor at Uppsala University, and Charlotte Platzer Björkman, Vice Rector of the Disciplinary Domain of Science and Technology, positioned the initiative in a broader analysis and infrastructure context.
