Graphene superlubricity: A review
Friction, 2023 AbstractSuperlubricity has drawn substantial attention worldwide while the energy crisis is challenging human beings. Hence, numerous endeavors are bestowed to design materials for superlubricity achievement at multiple scales. Developments in graphene-family materials, such as graphene, graphene oxide, and graphene quantum dots, initiated an epoch for

Origins of Graphite Resistivity: Decoupling Stacking Fault and Rotational Misorientation
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 March 2026.Interfacial dislocations critically influence interlayer transport in van der Waals (vdW) materials, yet quantifying their individual contributions remains challenging. We measure graphite's c‐axis resistivity and develop a decoupling strategy, revealing a resistivity ratio of ∼4507:74:1 for rotational misorientations, stacking faults, and AB stacking,

Ions as Architects of DNA Nanostructures: Mechanisms, Simulations, and Technological Frontiers
Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.Ions are not merely passive electrolytes but active regulators of DNA nanostructures. This review shows how ion valence, hydration, and specificity govern electrostatic screening, correlation, and confinement, enabling DNA origami, metallized DNA, nanopores, hydrogels, DNAzymes, molecular machines, and energy devices through integrated experimental and

Achieving superlubricity in DLC films by controlling bulk, surface, and tribochemistry [PDF]
, 2014 Superlubricity refers to a sliding regime in which contacting surfaces move over one another without generating much adhesion or friction [1]. From a practical application point of view, this will be the most ideal tribological situation for many moving ...

The Promise of Solid Lubricants for a Sustainable Future
Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 8, 6 February 2026.Lubricants are vital for technology, saving energy and resources. The industry seeks sustainable solutions beyond fossil fuels. Solid lubricants offer extremely low friction and reduce environmental impact, especially in harsh conditions. Can these solids truly replace liquid lubricants, or are they limited to extreme applications?

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 10, 18 February 2026.An adhesive tape–inspired anode stabilization strategy is proposed by grafting poly(methyl methacrylate) onto natural rubber. The resulting copolymer coating exhibits elasticity, adhesion, and ion‐selective nanodomains, which lower Zn2+ desolvation barriers, guide deposition to the stable (002) facet, and ensure intimate interfacial contact, delivering

Influence of substrate potential shape on the dynamics of a sliding lubricant chain
, 2013 We investigate the frictional sliding of an incommensurate chain of interacting particles confined in between two nonlinear on-site substrate potential profiles in relative motion. We focus here on the class of Remoissenet-Peyrard parametrized potentials
