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

Generalized Scaling Law of Structural Superlubricity
, 2019 Structural superlubricity, which promises an ultralow sliding friction due to the cancellation of the lateral force between two incommensurate interfaces, is a fundamental phenomenon in modern tribology. Achieving macroscale superlubricity is critical to

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?

Hyomen Kagaku, 2003 Superlubricity, a phenomena of vanishing friction, has been studied theoretically and experimentally. It is theoretically shown that certain unique cases exist where friction force exactly vanishes when the atomic arrangements on the contacting surfaces satisfies the condition for the appearance of superlubricity.
