Memory induced Magnus effect
Xin Cao, Debankur Das, Niklas Windbacher +3
Spinning objects which move through air or liquids experience a Magnus force. This effect is commonly exploited in ball sports but also of considerable importance for applications…
Frictionless nanohighways on crystalline surfaces
Emanuele Panizon, Andrea Silva, Xin Cao +5
The understanding of friction at nano-scales, ruled by the regular arrangement of atoms, is surprisingly incomplete. Here we provide a unified understanding by studying the interlo…
Moiré-pattern evolution couples rotational and translational friction at crystalline interfaces
Xin Cao, Andrea Silva, Emanuele Panizon +4
The sliding motion of objects is typically governed by their friction with the underlying surface. Compared to translational friction, however, rotational friction has received muc…
Pervasive orientational and directional locking at geometrically heterogeneous sliding interfaces
Xin Cao, Emanuele Panizon, Andrea Vanossi +3
Understanding the drift motion and dynamical locking of crystalline clusters on patterned substrates is important for the diffusion and manipulation of nano- and micro-scale object…
Surface relaxation of vapour-depositing colloidal glasses
Xin Cao, Huijun Zhang, Yilong Han
Vapour deposition can directly produce ultrastable glasses, which are similar to conventional glasses aged over thousands of years. The highly mobile surface layer is believed to a…
Failure to replicate long-range tunable attractions in colloidal system
Xin Cao, Maijia Liao, Xiao Xiao
Recently, a temperature-sensitive long-range attraction colloidal system exhibiting melting and pre-melting of colloidal crystals has been reported by Li et al.[1]. If it is true,…
