Abstract
We present the first space-filling bearing in three dimensions. It is shown that a packing which contains only loops of an even number of spheres can be constructed in a self-similar way and that it can act as a three-dimensional bearing in which spheres can rotate without slip and with negligible torsion friction.Year: 2004 PMID: 14995378 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.92.044301
