The solid‐state conversion of amorphous carbon into graphene is extremely difficult, but it
can be achieved in the friction experiments that induce macroscale superlubricity. However …

Friction and wear, which originate as a consequence of contact sliding, remain critical
concerns. In many systems, friction causes 20–30% wastage of energy, while wear leads to …

High friction and wear remain the major concerns in moving mechanical assemblies
(MMAs), leading to an excessive amount of wasted energy and premature system failure …

Notwithstanding the success of nanolayered coatings in the reduction of wear at nano-
/microscales, the improvement of the wear resistance at the macroscale remains an issue …
