This review summarizes recent advances in the area of tribology based on the outcome of a
Lorentz Center workshop surveying various physical, chemical and mechanical phenomena …

Earthquakes occur mainly on active faults. Fault slip is closely related to seismicity and is
thus widely discussed in Geosciences, Seismology, and Engineering. Slip experiment is a …

Slow earthquakes represent an important conundrum in earthquake physics. While regular
earthquakes are catastrophic events with rupture velocities governed by elastic wave speed …

Large and destructive earthquakes on mature faults in Earth's crust occur as slip in a layer of
a fine granular material—fault gouge—produced by comminution during sliding,. A range of …

The assimilation of geological, geophysical, and laboratory data in physics-based models of
fault dynamics promises increasingly realistic simulations of the seismic cycle. To assist this …

The frictional properties of a rough contact interface are controlled by its area of real contact,
the dynamical variations of which underlie our modern understanding of the ubiquitous rate …

Earthquake slip distributions are asymmetric along strike, but the reasons for the asymmetry
are unknown. We address this question by establishing empirical relations between …

Advancements in electrochemical double-layer capacitor (EDLC) technology require the
concomitant use of novel efficient electrode materials and viable electrode manufacturing …

Earthquakes have long been recognized as being the result of stick–slip frictional
instabilities,. Over the past few decades, laboratory studies of rock friction have elucidated …

We demonstrate snake-like motion of graphene nanoribbons atop graphene and hexagonal
boron nitride (h-BN) substrates using fully atomistic nonequilibrium molecular dynamics …
