Nanodiamonds are Forever
Say goodbye to the slogan “diamonds are forever.” For industries that use dry lubricant, the up-and-coming phrase is more likely to be “broken nanodiamonds are forever.”
MSE Purdue Alumni, Dr. Mathew Cherukara, is part of a team of researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory that is combining nanodiamonds with two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide layers and breaking them to create a self-generating, very-low-friction dry lubricant that lasts so long it could almost be confused with forever.
