Slippery Polymer Monoliths: Surface Functionalization with Ordered MoS2 Microparticle Arrays [PDF]
Components of technical systems and devices often require self-lubricating properties, which are implemented by means of dry lubricants. However, continuous lubricant coatings on the components' surfaces often suffer from poor adhesion, delamination and crack propagation.

Thermo-osmotic slip flows around a thermophoretic microparticle characterized by optical trapping of tracers [PDF]
Thermo-osmotic flow around a microparticle in a liquid is characterized by observing and analyzing the distribution of tiny particles, i.e., tracers, near the microparticle's surface. First, an optical trapping laser is used to localize the tracer motion along a circular path near the circumference of the microparticle.

OpenDust: A fast GPU-accelerated code for calculation forces, acting on microparticles in a plasma flow [PDF]
We present the first open-source, GPU-based code for complex plasmas. The code, OpenDust, aims to provide researchers both experimenters and theorists user-friendly and high-performance tool for self-consistent calculation forces, acting on microparticles, and microparticles' charges in a plasma flow.
