Surface texturing and solid lubricants have demonstrated the ability to substantially reduce
friction and wear under dry conditions. In recent decades, these two technologies have been …

Superlubricity, the state of ultralow friction between two sliding surfaces, has become a
frontier subject in tribology. Here, a state-of-the-art review of the phenomena and …

Two-dimensional heterostructures are excellent platforms to realize twist-angle-independent
ultra-low friction due to their weak interlayer van der Waals interactions and natural lattice …

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is one of the most broadly utilized solid lubricants with a wide
range of applications, including but not limited to those in the aerospace/space industry …

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 …

Calculations of the impact of friction and wear on energy consumption, economic
expenditure, and CO 2 emissions are presented on a global scale. This impact study covers …

Reducing energy consumption and CO 2 emissions by improving the tribological
