Using biowaste from cassava plants, scientists have created a coating that virtually eliminates friction in metal parts. The breakthrough has the potential to deliver better fuel economy, extend the lifespan of moving parts, and deliver enormous savings in myriad industries.
Judging from the image available on the DOI, the waste in question is the non edible part of the cassava, the leaves and twigs. Maybe the exterior of the roots are used as well? I’m really curious as to how this process they developed works.
