中国科学院院士郑泉水：自超滑技术将赋能第四次工业革命

Core Viewpoint - The self-superlubrication technology is not merely a "disruptive innovation" but a "root technology" that can address hidden pain points in precision manufacturing, chips, aerospace, and robotics, empowering the fourth industrial revolution with intelligent, miniaturized, and high-performance devices [1][4]. Group 1: Technology Overview - Self-superlubrication refers to an ideal state where there is zero wear, zero static friction, and a near-zero friction coefficient during solid surface contact without lubricants [1][4]. - This technology is similar to superconductivity, achieving near-zero friction and resistance, which can solve numerous challenges related to friction and system losses in mechanical fields [1][4]. Group 2: Impact on Industries - The self-superlubrication technology presents revolutionary opportunities in energy efficiency, structural and system design flexibility, and new industrial spaces, potentially reducing energy consumption of machines with moving parts by one or two orders of magnitude and increasing power density and lifespan by tens to hundreds of times [2][5]. - The technology's ability to enhance the lifespan of products, such as micro motors, from the current global maximum of 1,200-3,000 hours to 4,000-15,000 hours, positions it as an optimal solution for humanoid robotics [6]. Group 3: Product Development - The team has developed a series of products based on self-superlubrication technology, including micro generators, RF switch chips for communication bases, and micro motors, with some products already receiving orders [3][5]. - The micro motor serves as a critical actuator and physical interface connecting digital instructions (algorithms, AI) to physical actions (movement, operation) [6].
