Thanks to a new lubricant, small gears can run with virtually no friction. Made from liquid crystalline fluid, these lubricants drastically reduce friction and wear.
Lubricants are used in motors, axels, ventilators and manufacturing machines. Although lubricants are widely used, there have been almost no fundamental innovations for this product in the last twenty years.

The Latest on: Liquid crystal as lubricant
- Observation of Paraffin Wax Crystallization in Lubricating Oils Using Scanning Electron Microscopyon April 23, 2024 at 10:15 am
A lubricant's composition involves a carefully balanced blend of various elements, including base oils and additives, which collectively influence its performance and longevity during operation.
- Liquid crystals articles from across Nature Portfolioon April 5, 2024 at 5:00 pm
Liquid crystals are substances that flow like a liquid but maintain some of the ordered structure of crystals. Liquid-crystal molecules tend to be elongated and to orient in specific directions.
- Spigen Liquid Crystal Samsung Galaxy S24 case review: Should you buy it?on April 4, 2024 at 5:00 pm
The Spigen Liquid Crystal nails the basics of a thin clear case, with a price point that's difficult to resist. To be clear, Spigen hasn’t reinvented the wheel here. There’s nothing ...
- High-Precision Motion Components Drive Advances in Semiconductor Productionon April 4, 2024 at 12:39 pm
That’s why IKO has developed a lubricant (Liquid Crystal Lube) that aims to bridge the gap between high performance and superior outgassing characteristics with the purpose of eliminating the ...
- Dielectric meta-atoms with liquid crystal alignment effect for electrically tunable metasurfaceon March 31, 2024 at 5:00 pm
In this study, Professor Daping Chu's team at the University of Cambridge developed a novel liquid crystal-based tunable dielectric metasurface. By leveraging the dielectric metasurface's inherent ...
- A novel liquid crystal-based tunable dielectric metasurfaceon March 31, 2024 at 5:00 pm
By leveraging the dielectric metasurface's inherent alignment effect on liquid crystals on top of its electrically controllable properties, the need for liquid crystal alignment layer materials ...
- Liquid Crystal Display Technology Explainedon February 25, 2024 at 3:58 am
LCD technology utilizes the light-modulating properties of liquid crystals combined with polarizers. These crystals do not emit light directly but use a backlight or reflector to produce images in ...
- Controlling thermal conductivity in liquid crystalson April 16, 2023 at 5:00 pm
Doping a liquid crystal with azobenzene molecules can induce reversible changes in its thermal conductivity under light irradiation. These findings have been reported in a new collaboration ...
- Lube Up for Better Lovin'on August 4, 2022 at 12:17 pm
There I met the store's co-owner, Claire Cavanah, to learn about sexual lubricants. Having opened Toys in Babeland in 1993, she's had nearly a decade of experience selling and using the stuff.
- plasma-addressed liquid crystalon March 30, 2019 at 3:54 am
It is more similar to the LCD monitor, which uses red, green and blue color filters rather than phosphors, but instead of using transistors to line up the liquid crystals, it uses gas-filled cells ...
