Superlubricity

Superlubricity is a regime of relative motion in which friction vanishes or very nearly vanishes. However, the definition of "vanishing" friction level is not clear, which makes the term vague. As an ad hoc definition, a kinetic coefficient of friction less than 0.01 can be adopted. This definition also requires further discussion and clarification.

Macroscale
In 2015, researchers obtained evidence for superlubricity at microscales, supported by computational studies. The Mira supercomputer simulated up to 1.2 million atoms for dry environments and up to 10 million atoms for humid environments. == Applications ==
Applications
Friction is known to be a major consumer of energy; for instance in a detailed study it was found that it may lead to one third of the energy losses in new automobile engines. Superlubricious coatings could reduce this. Potential applications include computer hard drives, wind turbine gears, and mechanical rotating seals for microelectromechanical and nanoelectromechanical systems. ==See also==
