Abstract 2D materials such as graphene, MoS2, and hexagonal BN are the most advanced
solid lubricating materials with superior friction and anti‐wear performance. However, as a …

Wear of sliding contacts causes device failure and energy costs; however, the microscopic
principle in activating wear of the interfaces under stress is still open. Here, the typical …

The laser cladding technique fabricates the FeCrMnVSi x high entropy alloy (HEA) coatings
on 410 alloy substrates. Tribological tests reveal that the coefficient of friction (COF) of the …

Due to the coupled contributions of adhesion and carrier to friction typically found in
previous research, decoupling the electron-based dissipation is a long-standing challenge …

Oil-based drilling fluids (OBDF) have good lubricating properties and are indispensable in
oil drilling engineering. Temperature significantly affects the lubricity performance of OBDF …

Who governs interfacial friction, classical tribology theory or charge-energy evolution
theory? Since it was widely recognized that the origin of friction is interatomic forces …

The atomic-scale tribological properties of the MoO 3 (0 1 0)/Ag (1 1 1) heterogeneous
sliding interface were studied by first-principles calculation method. The interface binding …

Obtaining insights into friction at the nanoscopic level and being able to translate these into
macroscopic friction behavior in real-world systems is of paramount importance in many …

As space science and technology rapidly advance, spacecraft are increasingly subjected to
severe thermal and electromagnetic environments. This has created an urgent demand for …

Edge effect is one of the detrimental factors preventing superlubricity in laminar solid
lubricants. Separating the friction contribution from the edge atom and inner atom is of …
