摘要
The 2020 TKK Science Award in Technological Sciences went to CAS Member Prof.LUO Jianbin for his contribution to tribology,particularly in the field of nano-tribology and nano-fabrication.Friction is the reason why automobiles can move when we press on the gas,and stop as we hit the brake.However,friction also accounts for,reportedly,one third of the fuel consumption in automobiles,which ends up in energy dissipation,and friction-caused wear significantly reduces the lifetime of mechanical parts.
