The quest for realizing and manipulating ever smaller man-made movable structures and
dynamical machines has spurred tremendous endeavors, led to important discoveries, and …

Friction is a phenomenon that exists extensively in nature and industry; it has proven
necessary in daily life and beneficial in energy scavenging but is also alleged to be the main …

Perovskite electrocatalysts strongly rely on electronic structure regulation, especially for
electron configuration (eg) and conductivity. However, current regulation strategies …

The physics of sliding friction is gaining impulse from nanoscale and mesoscale
experiments, simulations, and theoretical modeling. This Colloquium reviews some recent …

Written by three leading experts in the field, this book describes and explains all essential
aspects of scanning probe microscopy. Emphasis is placed on the experimental design and …

Nanoscale magnetic imaging can provide microscopic information about length scales,
inhomogeneity and interactions of materials systems. As such, it is a powerful tool to probe …

About 30% of the world's primary energy consumption is in friction. The economic losses
caused by friction energy dissipation and wear account for about 2%–7% of its gross …

It is well-known that the electron nature of a solid in contact plays a predominant role in
determining the many properties of the contact systems, but the general rules of electron …

This paper reviews recent progress in molecular dynamics simulation of atomic-scale friction
measured by an atomic force microscopy. Each section of the review focuses on an …

This review provides an overview of recent advances that have been achieved in
understanding the basic physics of friction and energy dissipation in molecularly thin …
