A pure and incompressible material is confined between two plates such that it is heated from below and cooled from above. When its melting temperature is comprised between these two imposed temperatures, an interface separating liquid and…
The ultra-low kinetic friction F_k of 2D structurally superlubric interfaces, connected with the fast motion of the incommensurate moir\'e pattern, is often invoked for its linear increase with velocity v_0 and area A, but never seriously…
