Sealing is at the Origin of Rubber Slipping on Wet Roads
B. N. J. Persson, U. Tartaglino, O. Albohr +1
Loss of braking power and rubber skidding on a wet road is still an open physics problem, since neither the hydrodynamical effects nor the loss of surface adhesion that are sometim…
NaCl nanodroplet on NaCl(100) at the melting point
T. Zykova-Timan, U. Tartaglino, D. Ceresoli +2
The self-wetting properties of ionic crystal surfaces are studied, using NaCl(100) as a prototype case. The anomalously large contact angle measured long ago by Mutaftschiev is wel…
Electronic friction and liquid-flow-induced voltage in nanotubes
B. N. J. Persson, U. Tartaglino, E. Tosatti +1
A recent exciting experiment by Ghosh et al. reported that the flow of an ion-containing liquid such as water through bundles of single-walled carbon nanotubes induces a voltage in…
