Unravelling friction anisotropy by atomic force microscopy. [PDF]
Abstract Friction plays a crucial role in both natural phenomena, from the flow of blood cells to earthquakes, and technological applications, from car engines to wind turbines. One of the most fundamental aspects of tribology is friction anisotropy, that is, the dependence of the friction force vector on the direction of sliding.

Microscale Contact Electrification with Unprecedented High Intrinsic Charge Density. [PDF]
With the atomically flat contact interface by a microscale graphite slider and polytetrafluoroethylene, microscale contact electrification with high contact efficiency is achieved. The developed microscale triboelectric nanogenerator exhibits a record‐high intrinsic triboelectric charge density of 2.6 mC m−2, which is attributed to the greatly enhanced

Electrically Tunable Friction: From Sticky to Slippery with Ionic Hydrogels. [PDF]
This work demonstrates electrically tunable friction “from sticky to slippery” using ionic hydrogels, achieving reversible more‐than‐fifty‐fold modulation without liquid lubricants. An electric field extracts a salt‐rich interfacial layer that dramatically reduces friction.

Perspectives of 2D MXene Tribology. [PDF]
The past two years have witnessed increased experimental and theoretical efforts toward studying MXenes’ mechanical and tribological properties when used as lubricant additives, reinforcement phases in composites, or solid lubricant coatings. The most promising results in MXene tribology are summarized, future important problems to be pursued further ...

Macroscale Superlubricity and Polymorphism of Long-Chain n-Alcohols [PDF]
Simple n -alcohols, such as 1-dodecanol, show anomalous film-forming and friction behaviour under elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) conditions, as found inside bearings and gears. Using tribometer, diamond anvil cell (DAC), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) experiments, we show that ...

Unraveling the Interfacial Properties of Twisted Single-Crystal Au(111)/MoS<sub>2</sub> Heterostructures: A Pathway to Robust Superlubricity. [PDF]
Interfacial mechanical properties of MoS2/Au(111) heterostructures are revealed by advanced experimental and computational methods. The developed semi‐anisotropic interlayer potential (SAIP) accurately predicts moiré‐driven out‐of‐plane corrugation, aligning with experimental observations.
