Non-Amontons frictional behaviors of grain boundaries at layered material interfaces

This work demonstrates non-Amontons frictional behavior and negative differential friction coefficients at graphene/Pt(111) surface grain boundaries due to dynamic buckling of dislocations, providing vital insights for the design of macroscopic dry superlubric contacts.

Giant thermal expansion of a two-dimensional supramolecular network triggered by alkyl chain motion

The intrinsic flexibility of molecules opens the door to unusual physical properties. Now, a large thermal expansion coefficient of 980 ± 110 × 10⁻⁶ K⁻¹ is observed by scanning probe microscopy in a supramolecular network on a gold surface.

Conformations and cryo-force spectroscopy of spray-deposited single-strand DNA on gold

Cryo-electron microscopy can determine the structure but not the nanomechanics of biological matter. Here the authors combine force spectroscopy in cryogenic conditions with computer simulations to characterize the properties of DNA simultaneously down to the sub-nm level.
