SUMMARY:Tribology at the Smallscale: Learning from Nature - Prof John Will
 iams (CUED)
DTSTART:20100212T143000Z
DTEND:20100212T153000Z
UID:TALK22584@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Anita Clayson
DESCRIPTION:The phenomenon of miniaturisation now extends beyond electroni
 cs into the realms of mechanical and fluid systems. At such small scales\,
  the phenomena of adhesion\,  friction and wear - all aspects of tribology
  - can be crucial features of device operation. Nature has had millennia t
 o develop tribological solutions at a variety of scales and the talk will 
 illustrate the relevance of some of these\, the biomimetic ideas which the
 y suggest and some of the challenges that face the next generation of trib
 ologists.\n
