Dwarfs to the rescue: Scientists at SRM University develop new nano-lubricant 

CHENNAI: Scientists at SRM University, Chennai have shown that "nano" (dwarf in Greek) particles can significantly reduce metal to metal friction in a machine system, a gear box for example.

According to Mr. Shubrajit Bhaumik who is leading the research, the newly developed nano lubricant displays superior qualities: a significant increase of over 30 % in anti-wear property and a more than 15 % increase in load carrying capacity. " We also noticed a lower coefficient of friction values  ..
