  • Physics Colloquium: Ultra-low friction of gold nanocrystals on graphene

    PSB: 161

    Ultra-low friction of gold nanocrystals on graphene Masahiro Ishigami, PhD University of Central Florida, Physics Department April 7, 2017 – PSB 160/161, 4:00-5:00pm Abstract: Any mechanical system in which an object rubs against a surface suffers from friction. Frictional forces convert kinetic energy to internal energy and causes wear, decreasing the energy efficiency and the lifetime of interfacing parts. The …
