In collaboration with several partners, Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd. has achieved a further breakthrough in tyre technology. SRI teamed up with experts from institutes within Japan to develop a new synchrotron radiation technique that can measure the motion of atoms, molecules, and nanostructures within an extremely short timeframe, including down to 1 nanosecond. With this advancement, the Falken brand manufacturer anticipates enhancing its tyres’ strength and wear resistance.
