Tribology is the study of interactions between surfaces or interfaces in relative motion
(“tribos” means “to rub” in Greek). It includes the phenomena of friction, adhesion, and wear …

In this review, we present various results obtained by friction force microscopy in the last
decade. Starting with material-specific contrast, commonly observed in friction force maps …

Achieving high selectivity and production efficiency simultaneously in electrocatalytic H 2 O
2 production to replace the anthraquinone process via two-electron (2e−) oxygen reduction …

Amines and boranes are the archetypical Lewis bases and acids, respectively. The former
can readily undergo one-electron oxidation to give radical cations, whereas the latter are …

Acoustic microscopy enables the elastic properties of materials to be imaged and measured
with the resolution of a good microscope. By using frequencies in the microwave regime, it is …

Nanotechnology, science, and engineering spearhead the 21st century revolution that is
leading to fundamental breakthroughs in the way materials, devices, and systems are …

Graphene produced by exfoliation has not been able to provide an ideal graphene with
performance comparable to that predicted by theory, and structural and/or electronic defects …

Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and its Application presents a unified view of the rapidly
growing field of STM, and its many derivatives. A thorough discussion of the various …

Structure and reactivity often are dependent on the polarity of chemical bonds. This
relationship is reflected by atomic charges in classical (semiempirical) atomistic simulations; …

The addition of a single sheet of carbon atoms in the form of graphene can drastically alter
friction between a nanoscale probe tip and a surface. Here, for the first time we show that …
