• Imaging high-speed friction at the nanometer scale 

      Thorén, Per-Anders; de Wijn, Astrid S.; Borgani, Riccardo; Forchheimer, Daniel; Haviland, David B. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Friction is a complicated phenomenon involving nonlinear dynamics at different length and time scales. Understanding its microscopic origin requires methods for measuring force on nanometer-scale asperities sliding at ...
    • On the damage tolerance of 3-D printed Mg-Ti interpenetrating-phase composites with bioinspired architectures 

      Zhang, Mingyang; Zhao, Ning; Yu, Qin; Liu, Zengqian; Qu, Ruitao; Zhang, Jian; Li, Shujun; Ren, Dechun; Berto, Filippo; Zhang, Zhefeng; Ritchie, Robert O. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Bioinspired architectures are effective in enhancing the mechanical properties of materials, yet are difficult to construct in metallic systems. The structure-property relationships of bioinspired metallic composites also ...
    • Understanding the friction of atomically thin layered materials 

      Andersson, Sven Per David; de Wijn, Astrid (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Friction is a ubiquitous phenomenon that greatly affects our everyday lives and is responsible for large amounts of energy loss in industrialised societies. Layered materials such as graphene have interesting frictional ...
