The coalescence between growing droplets is important for the surface coverage and spatial arrangements of droplets on surfaces. In this work, total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy is utilized to in-situ investigate the…
Edge effect is one of the detrimental factors preventing superlubricity in laminar solid lubricants. Separating the friction contribution from the edge atom and inner atom is of paramount importance for rational design of ultralow friction…
