Contact bearings will benefit from ever-tighter tolerances and more rugged materials. A revolutionary non-contact bearing, the electromagentic bearing, repulsively or attractively levitates moving parts in a magnetic or electric field, with zero friction; wear can often be practically eliminated by having such a bearing gently "land" apart after it stops moving. The new high-temperature superconductors will make such bearings smaller, stronger, and more precise; since they are often computer-controlled, nanocomputers will be helpful too.  2, record 1, English, - non%2Dcontact%20bearing

[...] dans des expériences scientifiques la lévitation de supraconducteurs a été utilisée pour la première fois. Citons comme applications techniques les voies à sustentation magnétique et les roulements sans contact pour des axes tournant à grande vitesse.  3, record 1, French, - roulement%20sans%20contact
