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.

Creep, stick-slip, and dry-friction dynamics: Experiments and a heuristic model.
TL;DR: An extensive study of the dry-friction dynamics of a paper-on-paper system and proposes a heuristic model of low-velocity friction based on two main ingredients, which assumes that the dynamics is controlled by the Brownian motion of an effective creeping volume in a pinning potential, the strength of which increases with age.

Origin of stick-slip motion in boundary lubrication.
TL;DR: Simulation results indicate that the origin of stick-slip motion is thermodynamic instability of the sliding state, rather than a dynamic instability as usually assumed.

TL;DR: It is shown how the grain structure of highly oriented pyrolitic graphite determines the probability of self-retraction, and the robustness of the phenomenon opens the way for practical applications of superlubricity in micromechanical systems.
