Reprogrammable multi‐material smart textiles knitted from liquid crystal elastomer fibers undergo 2D and 3D deformation under thermal and photo stimuli. Circularly knitted tubular structures reversibly contract in radial and axial directions, enabling autonomous climbing, liquid release, and micro pumping.

Single asperity friction in the wear regime
We used molecular dynamics simulation to investigate the friction of a single asperity against a rigid substrate, while generating debris. In the low wear regime (i.e., non-linear wear rate dependence on the contact stress, via atom-by-atom attrition ...

Effects of load on tribological properties of B4C and B4C-SiC ceramics sliding against SiC balls
Pressureless sintered B4C and B4C-SiC ceramics were subjected to tests of dry sliding against SiC balls at 5 N, 10 N and 20 N. The effects of load on the respective tribological properties of B4C and B4C-SiC ceramics were studied.
