In present work, a superlubricity phenomenon of phosphoric acid (H3PO4) was found under ambient conditions. An ultralow friction coefficient of about 0.004 between glass/Si3N4 and …
Superlubricity is a terminology often used to describe a sliding regime in which the adhesion leading to friction or resistance to sliding literally vanishes. For improved energy security …
Despite extensive research on the tribological properties of MoS2, the frictional characteristics of other members of the transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) family have …

The main challenge in predicting sliding friction is related to the complexity of highly nonequilibrium processes, the kinetics of which are controlled by the interface temperature …
In this methods article, we describe application of Prandtl–Tomlinson models and their extensions to interpret dry atomic-scale friction. The goal is to provide a practical overview of …

In the present work, we show that the superlubricity can be achieved when the polyhydroxy alcohol solutions are mixed with acid solutions. The lowest friction coefficients between …
