Structural lubricity in soft and hard matter systems
Over the recent decades there has been tremendous progress in understanding and controlling friction between surfaces in relative motion. However the complex nature of the involved processes has forced most of this work to be of rather empirical nature. Two very distinctive physical systems, hard tw...

description | Over the recent decades there has been tremendous progress in understanding and controlling friction between surfaces in relative motion. However the complex nature of the involved processes has forced most of this work to be of rather empirical nature. Two very distinctive physical systems, hard two-dimensional layered materials and soft microscopic systems, such as optically or topographically trapped colloids, have recently opened novel rationally designed lines of research in the field of tribology, leading to a number of new discoveries. Here, we provide an overview of these emerging directions of research, and discuss how the interplay between hard and soft matter promotes our understanding of frictional phenomena. |
