Metallic materials have been used in various applications such as gas sensors, space lubrication, and power transmission. Under different environmental conditions, materials can have vastly different friction properties. Understanding the wear and friction properties of materials is imperative for determining suitable materials for different applications, although oftentimes poses a challenge. Recently, the Colas Group developed […]

Non-sewered sanitation (NSS) technologies are common forms of improved and primarily onsite sanitation technology. It is estimated that globally, 40% of the population is served by these onsite sanitation systems. Research on NSS technologies lags substantially behind that of conventional wastewater treatment. The design and construction of these systems assumes the passive biodegradation of accumulated […]
