Webinar by NIS’ Scientific Advisor Professor Reshef Tenne. Superior Solid Lubricants: Inorganic Nanotubes & Nearly Spherical Nanoparticles of WS₂ at the crossroads of solid-state chemistry and nanotechnology

Thirsty Bird is excited to announce the release of the NanoTech line – the cutting-edge lubrication for the most demanding industries. First and foremost, Oil & Gas, Agriculture, and Mining. NanoTech products improve equipment efficiency, increase mine production, reduce energy consumption, and cut overall costs. The science behind Thirsty Bird NanoTech line pumpjack oils, rock drill and tractor fluid, and greases, is a game-changing technology of Inorganic Fullerene-like Tungsten Disulfide, IF-WS2. Billions of IF-WS2 nanoparticles enhance every NanoTech product.

Low Friction, heat resistant, wear-resistant, zero-oil additive based on inorganic nanostructured fullerene-like tungsten disulfide (IF-WS₂). It offers unmatched anti-friction and surface smoothness benefits to cutting fluids and metal forming materials. IF-WS₂ Formulated additive maintains enhanced performance and effective lubricating properties in extreme conditions and temperatures, where other lubricants fail. May be used to formulating synthetic, semi-synthetic, emulsion MWF or any other water-miscible lubricating fluids.

Two Weizmann Institute scientists have received the prestigious EMET Prize: Prof. Emeritus Reshef Tenne in the exact sciences category, and Prof. Dan Tawfik in the life sciences category. The prize is awarded by the A.M.N. Foundation.

Liat Ecker, our Process Engineer and EHS officer, celebrates 15 years with NanoMaterials this month! She has been an integral member of NIS, spearheading efforts at our Israeli location. Mrs. Ecker loves the challenges of nanotechnology and enjoys working in a family-like setting of our close-knit team. Mrs. Ecker has a BA in Chemical Engineering from the Israel Institute of Technology. She lives in Rehovot, together with her husband and their three daughters.
