Study Shows Large Molecules Move Faster on Rough Surfaces at Nanoscale

Roughness, or the irregularities present on a surface, is generally related to stickiness and slower motion. This holds good at varying length scales: at human size (1 m), walking along a rough, up and down, path takes a longer time than walking on a flat road.
