What are the Challenges in Achieving Low Friction?
Despite advancements, there are several challenges: - Scalability: Techniques effective at the nanoscale may not be easily scalable to larger systems. - Environmental Sensitivity: Frictional properties can be influenced by environmental factors like humidity and temperature, complicating control. - Material Stability: Some low-friction materials may degrade over time or under certain conditions, affecting long-term reliability.
