## Resource

In this episode of Tribology Talks, PCS Instruments Ben is joined by Joeseph Shore and Jason Zhang from the Imperial College Tribology Group for the first part of their conversation. They begin by sharing how they first became interested in tribology, from early curiosity about mechanical engineering to research projects at Imperial College London. The discussion then moves into their current work, including EV drivetrain efficiency, high-speed bearing reliability, lubricant behaviour in inert gas environments, and the role of hydrogen and ammonia in future transport systems. Together, they explore the challenge of connecting benchtop testing with real-world applications, and why understanding the wider operating environment is so important in modern tribology.
