Coat your cams!

Back when I did a lot of work on Spec Miatas here in California there was always talk of "coating" engine, transmission, and differential internals. I never knew what this coating was, and I doubt anyone else did either. I'm sure some of you are aware of it, though.
Anyway, I'm doing a Rhetorical analysis of a scientific Engineering based article of my choosing for a class, and happened to find this article which I thought was pretty interesting:
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/ar ... 9X06001484
Its a short article and offers up a cool result. The catch I thought was interesting is that the different lubricant used drastically reduces the friction coefficient when using the ta-C type DLC coating. Anyone have experience using coatings for engine parts?
