Structural superlubricity and ultralow friction across the length scales
TL;DR: The phenomenon of ultralow friction between sliding incommensurate crystal surfaces—structural superlubricity—is examined, and the challenges and opportunities involved in its extension to the macroscale are assessed.

Approaches for Achieving Superlubricity in Two-Dimensional Materials.
TL;DR: This review outlines basic mechanisms for frictional energy dissipation during sliding of two surfaces against each other, and the procedures for manipulating friction and wear by introducing 2D materials at the tribological interface, and highlights recent progress in implementing2D materials for friction reduction to near-zero values-superlubricity-across scales from nano- up to macroscale contacts.

Robust microscale superlubricity in graphite/hexagonal boron nitride layered heterojunctions
TL;DR: Robust structural superlubricity is experimentally realized in microscale monocrystalline graphite/hBN heterojunctions and the friction anisotropy upon crystal reorientation is orders of magnitude smaller than that of homogeneous graphite contacts.

TL;DR: The atomically well-defined contact allows us to trace the origin of superlubricity, unraveling the role played by ribbon size and elasticity, as well as by surface reconstruction, and pave the way to the scale-up of superLubricity and thus to the realization of frictionless coatings.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply small-amplitude oscillations to the shear force and show that the stick-slip periods synchronize, which is related to the inhibition of slow rupture modes which forces a transition to fast rupture.

Underdamped commensurate dynamics in a driven Frenkel-Kontorova–type model
TL;DR: The dynamics of a Frenkel-Kontorova chain subject to a substrate potential with a multiple-well structure and driven by an external dc force is studied in the underdamped regime and a rational choice among the three inherent length scales characterizing the system is made.

Static and dynamic friction in sliding colloidal monolayers
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present realistic simulations and arguments that besides reproducing the main experimentally observed features give a first theoretical demonstration of the potential impact of colloid sliding in nanotribology.
Peak effect versus skating in high-temperature nanofriction.
TL;DR: Simulations of hard tips sliding on a prototype non-melting surface, NaCl, reveal two distinct and opposite phenomena for ploughing and for grazing friction, and it is argued that both phenomena occur more generally on surfaces other than NaCl and should be pursued experimentally.
