郑泉水院士：自超滑技术将赋能第四次工业革命

Core Viewpoint - The self-lubricating technology has the potential to overcome challenges in precision manufacturing, chips, aerospace, and robotics, enabling intelligent, miniaturized, and high-performance devices, as well as strategic emerging industries [1][2]. Group 1: Self-Lubricating Technology - Self-lubricating refers to an ideal state where wear and static friction are zero, and the friction coefficient is nearly zero under solid surface contact without lubricants [1]. - This technology can significantly reduce energy consumption by one or two orders of magnitude and enhance power density and lifespan by tens to hundreds of times in applications such as smart terminals, high-end equipment, and 6G/satellite internet [1]. Group 2: Research Contributions and Product Development - Zheng Quanshui's team contributes nearly half of the global publications on superlubricity and has developed a series of products based on this technology, including micro-generators, RF switch chips for communication bases, and micro-special motors, with some already receiving orders [2]. - The lifespan of micro-special motors, which serve as key actuators and physical interfaces connecting digital commands (algorithms, AI) to physical actions (motion, operation), can be increased from the current global maximum of 1,200 hours to between 4,000 and 15,000 hours with self-lubricating technology [2]. Group 3: Event Overview - The "Good Hope Cape Science Salon," initiated by Zhongke Chuangxing Technology Investment Co., aims to create a platform for influential science and technology integration and cross-border communication, having held ten events to date [2]. - The tenth event, themed "Digital Intelligence Era and Zero Friction World," took place on January 15 in Shanghai, featuring discussions on atomic-level manufacturing technologies and future prospects with over 100 representatives from research, industry, and investment sectors [2].
