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…

Experimental observation of the Aubry transition in two-dimensional colloidal monolayers
T. Brazda, A. Silva, N. Manini +4
The possibility to achieve entirely frictionless, i.e. superlubric, sliding between solids, holds enormous potential for the operation of mechanical devices. At small length scales…
