Directional commensurability stabilizes structural superlubricity in patterned mesoscale interfaces
Viet Hung Ho, Ge Li, Melisa M. Gianetti +3
Structural superlubricity, arising from lattice incommensurability, offers a promising route to eliminate friction and associated energy losses in mechanical systems. In real-world…
