Achieving low friction at the nanoscale involves several strategies: 1. Material Selection: Utilization of materials with naturally low friction coefficients, such as graphene and carbon nanotubes. 2. Surface Coatings: Applying thin films or coatings, like diamond-like carbon (DLC), which exhibit low friction properties. 3. Lubrication: Employing nanoscale lubricants, including solid lubricants like molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), to reduce friction. 4. Surface Engineering: Modifying surface textures at the nanoscale to minimize contact area and friction.
