Superlubricity and nanotechnology

Nanowerk   -   Nanotechnology Websites

Superlubricity is a phenomenon where two surfaces slide over each other with barely any resistance (a state that is called near-zero friction). This is a very special case where friction almost vanishes between two surfaces. The difficulty of ach...
