Overlaying two atomic layers with a slight lattice mismatch or at a small rotation angle
creates a moiré superlattice, which has properties that are markedly modified from (and at …

The reach of tribology has expanded in diverse fields and tribology related research
activities have seen immense growth during the last decade. This review takes stock of the …

Toward the goal of achieving superlubricity, or near-zero friction, in industrially relevant
material systems, solution-processed multilayer Ti3C2T x-MoS2 blends are spray-coated …

In heterostructures of two-dimensional materials, electronic properties can vary dramatically
with relative interlayer angle. This effect makes it theoretically possible to realize a new class …

Structural superlubricity, a state of ultralow friction and wear between crystalline surfaces, is
a fundamental phenomenon in modern tribology that defines a new approach to lubrication …

Controlling friction and reducing wear of moving mechanical systems is important in many
applications, from nanoscale electromechanical systems to large-scale car engines 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 …

Structural superlubricity is a fascinating tribological phenomenon, in which the lateral
interactions between two incommensurate contacting surfaces are effectively cancelled …

Friction and wear remain as the primary modes of mechanical energy dissipation in moving
mechanical assemblies; thus, it is desirable to minimize friction in a number of applications …

Elastic properties of materials are an important factor in their integration in applications.
Chemical vapor deposited (CVD) monolayer semiconductors are proposed as key …
