Professor Mark Robbins Johns Hopkins University Molecular dynamics simulations are used to probe the molecular origins of dry friction, boundary lubrication and stick-slip motion. Some counterintuitive results are that crystalline monolayers may slide more easily over solid substrates than fluid monolayers, and that fluids behave like solids when they are confined to molecularly thin layers.
