Abstract

————————————

Friction and wearing are veryimportant sources of environmental pollution and natural resource wastages insociety, and are the major development bottleneck of many key technologies. Asa new technology (debuted 2012), “Structural superlubricity”provides revolutionary solutions to major friction and wearing problems,especially in the field of MEMS, information storage, and advanced precisionmanufacturing, etc. It studies the ultralow (almost-zero) friction and wearingphenomena between two contacting solid surfaces in motion. In this talk, Prof. Zhengshall provide fundamental reviews on structural superlubricityconcepts, the scientific challenges, and also the tremendous futureopportunities. Prof. Zhengshall also introduce his works and research teams, and encourage younggraduates to join his efforts.     (Thistalk will be in mandarin)
