In a pioneering study, the nanolubrication research team at the Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has achieved a significant breakthrough in the realm of quantum friction. For the first time, they have experimentally observed quantum friction at solid-solid interfaces. This research systematically delineates the intrinsic connection between electron and phonon dissipation and friction, shedding light on the friction control mechanism driven by topological strain in quantum states. The groundbreaking findings have been published in Nature Communications.
