New research shows a frictionless state can be achieved at macroscale - EurekAlert


This paper explores an innovative approach to reducing friction on metallic surfaces – a significant advancement that could have major real-world impacts. Moreover, it shows that superlubricity – a state with virtually no friction that was once believed to only be achievable at nanoscale – can now be maintained at macroscale for extended time periods under regular atmospheric conditions by employing sustainably produced carbon coatings made from biowaste.
