Omar Shah from our National Centre of Tribology attended the All Energy 2025 conference in Glasgow last week, engaging with engineers, innovators, and investors across the renewable energy sector.
ESR Technology is delighted to share some fantastic news from the National Centre of Tribology (NCT). One of our newest recruits, David MacMillan, has successfully passed his PhD viva.
ESR Technology is proud to share that at our ESTL (European Space Tribology Laboratory) experts have contributed, along with ESA, Materials GmbH and Kompetenzzentrum Tribologie Mannheim, to the recently published article in Scientific Reports: “Development of novel lubricant formulation for cleanroom and vacuum application”
Andrew Gibson, Head of Space Mechanisms, attended the 25th Anniversary Meeting of the MOPITT to celebrate Long-lived Space Mechanisms for Monitoring Pollution from Space.
ESTL are pleased to announce that we will be presenting two Space Tribology training courses this September in conjunction with the ESMATS 2025 conference.
As long-time sponsors and exhibitors of the event for over 30 years, ESR Technology’s Safety and Risk team is proud to be the Silver Sponsor of the IChemE HAZARDS conference once again
ESR Technology recently welcomed college student, Max, who is currently studying Maths, Physics, and Computer Science, for a week-long work experience programme.
Tribology – commonly described as the study of friction, wear and lubrication – is an interdisciplinary subject embracing aspects of physics, chemistry, fluid mechanics, material science, and metallurgy. For most mechanical systems, the requirements of “good tribology” and effective lubrication are to minimise adhesion, friction, and wear of the contacting surfaces and thereby to maximise life.
Critical infrastructure, like hospitals, data centres, and power plants, rely heavily on electrical systems to function. Disruptions to these electrical systems can have cascading effects, leading to financial damages, and societal disruption. In recent news, Manchester Airport erupted into chaos as it faced a major power cut, that caused huge disruptions with airlines and luggage operations.
Some of our NCT team took to the tracks as they went go-karting on an after-work social event. The venue presented the team with their best lap times, but as data-driven scientists and engineers, the team asked for the full results
ESA’s EarthCARE satellite successfully launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base in the early hours of this morning.
Last week, ESTL hosted staff from the European Space Agency (ESA) for “Hands-On Training”. This annual course is our opportunity to showcase what we do and how we support industry.
