Most of this is mixed with aggregates such as crushed rock, sand and gravel to create asphalt—the sticky bitumen binds it all together—to build roads. Bitumen is a very thick liquid form of crude oil. It does occur naturally, but the stuff used as a binder in asphalt is a by-product of oil refining.

saw damage, mechanical damage after sand blasting, mechanical polishing, or even damages induced by ion implantation), etch out (selectively) grain boundaries, form metal oxide layers on the surface, thus having mostly an intrinsically 2D-character. An open-access paper on their work is published in the RSC journal Nanoscale Horizons.

You should especially wax your truck if you expect it to be exposed to the elements like rain, snow, dirt or sand. But synthetic polymers are also added to ensure longevity. Check your oil level and tire pressure. There are different types of truck waxes available. Each type of wax has its own pros and cons. Check the brakes.

Increased efficiency in the new four-cylinders was achieved partly through lower engine friction, which was reduced by up to 16% using new technologies such as a variable-displacement oil pump and, with the 2.5L, an actively controlled thermostat. Even the oil volume is optimized for minimal weight. Air-to-air intercooling system.

A breach in ExxonMobil’s Pegasus crude oil pipeline occurred late Friday afternoon near Mayflower, AR (about 20 miles north northwest of Little Rock and at the southeastern end of the Lake Conway reservoir). Efforts are being made to keep oil away from Lake Conway. Route of the Pegasus pipeline. Source: ExxonMobil. Click to enlarge.

Several innovations contributed to this reduction including; the use of a new piston coating; the two balance shafts that counteract the second-order inertial forces run in roller bearings; utilizing a low-energy oil pump; and using a highly precise electric system to control the oil-jet cooling for the piston crowns.

The modular, front-wheel-drive battery electric car has dent-resistant polymer-plastic body panels mounted on an aluminum frame and a steel chassis. Several global indicators on the supply of oil and the known carbon pollution environmental damages its caused all lead us to find cleaner ways of transportation. We have oil!
