Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) materials are crystalline materials made of a single or a few
layers of atoms. They have been an active research subject in recent years because of their …

Two-dimensional materials having a layered structure comprise a monolayer or multilayers
of atomic thickness and ultra-low shear strength. Their high specific surface area, in-plane …

Superlubricity, a fantastic lubrication sate where friction or resistance to sliding nearly
vanishes, has become one of the most important approaches to combat friction-induced …

Friction is undoubtedly one of the most common yet intriguing physical phenomena
encountered in our daily lives. It would be impossible to play a stringed instrument or write …

The topic of superlubricity is attracting considerable interest around the world while
humanity is facing an energy crisis. Since various liquid superlubricity systems can be …

Graphene and other two-dimensional materials have been proved to be able to offer low
friction. Here we assembled van der Waals heterostructures with graphene and …

Interlayer friction between the atomic planes of 2D materials and heterostructures is a
promising probe of the physics in their interlayer couplings and superlubricity. However, it is …
