Falk, do you know whether molys actual lubricating mechanism is the same as graphite? Graphite relys on surface adsorbtion of water to make the lattice planes slippery. I heard that NASAfigured this outafter using it (unsuccessfully) in space 40-50 years ago.
I don't know about the water part. I've read that the atomic structure is a closed planar lattice like graphite, but the adsorbtion part is news to me ...... JohnL may know though.
