Another flawless #FrictionFactFriday 💎💎 @argonne @sheffielduni @SheffMechEng #diamondsareforever #research #nanomaterials #mechanicalengineering #materials

@NishaSinghAE @sheffielduni @gcntweet Great question! This fact only applies to bike tyres. The faster speeds of F1 cars and the flat profile of their tyres make tread patterns critical in wet weather, or this happens...

We are wheely pleased with this week's #FrictionFactFriday! 🚴🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️ @sheffielduni @gcntweet #bike #facts #research

Can jubilee-ve it! Even bank holidays won't stop #FrictionFactFriday. Enjoy the festivities but please don't go off the rails. 👑🚂👑🚂 @SheffMechEng @sheffielduni #jubileeweekend #jubilee #rail #coin #facts #friction

And we're off! Looking forward to a great week at STLE's Annual Conference here in sunny Orlando connecting with tribologists and engineers from around the world. @STLE_Tribology @sheffielduni

What an AWESOME evening @pintofscience! Thank you to the organising team for putting together such a slick event. Also, congratulations Robert Richards on your excellent talk demonstrating how semiconductors are destroying all the cool old-school tech ;)

We are officially SOLD OUT!!! Thank you to everyone who bought tickets, see you on Wednesday! 🍺⚗️ @sheffielduni @pintofscience

Are #FrictionFactFriday puns starting to grow on you or shall we leave them out?🌿 🌿

A great morning running the "measuring people" lab for our 4th year and MSc @SheffMechEng module on Human Factors & User-Centred Design and introducing students to the hand-related research we do in the @HIGShefUniMEC group.

Getting some props ready for #pintofscience, only one week to go! Link to purchase tickets in comments. Buy now to avoid disappointment! @sheffielduni @SheffMechEng @pintofscience #pos
