Electricity and Water Help Control Nanoscale Friction on Ionic Surfaces

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have discovered a new method to control friction in ionic solids at the nanoscale using ambient water vapor and electrical stimulation. Friction affects motion and hence frictional forces have to be controlled. Traditionally, lubrication or mechanistic means have been used for controlling friction forces.
