“You can think of wear as the act of shaving off layers of atoms as the surfaces come into contact, stick, and eventually 'catastrophically' slip under pressure from a shear force,” MIT graduate student Dorian Gangloff told redOrbit. “At the macro-scale, material thicknesses are generally billions of atomic layers ...

"What is new in our system is, for the first time on the atomic scale, we can see this transition from friction to superlubricity." Vuletic, along with graduate students Alexei Bylinskii and Dorian Gangloff, publish their results today in the journal Science. Friction and force fields. The team simulated friction at the ...
