Tribology is the science of wear, friction and lubrication which has been utilized in biomedical applications. Medical grade metals and alloys can provide internal support in the body and are employed as replacements for biological tissue.
Tribological properties associated with wear, friction and lubrication are important to the implementation of many biomedical applications. Medicine now allows for the replacement of biological tissue with artificial devices.
In a collaborative effort between researchers from the Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT) and Seoul National University’s School of Chemical and Biological Engineering, a unique “graphene” ball has been designed to improve charging speeds by five-fold and increase battery capacity by an impressive 45%.

The height histogram of a topographical image presents the statistical distribution of z-values (heights) within the image. The histogram is a graph of neighboring columns (or bins). In the histogram, each column depicts a height range.
Graphene is a material formed from carbon in a honeycomb structure with one-atom thickness. It provides distinctive optical, thermal, electronic and mechanical properties. The material can be manufactured into sheets, flakes and graphene oxide to provide a variety of applications to the field of biomedicine.
