Scaling Up Superlubricity using 2D materials

Dr. Zahra Gholamvand spoke about 2D materials and application for frictionless contacts at the "Atoms to Galaxies" event in Pint Of Science public festival

A world without friction?!

Dr. Zahra Gholamvand from School of Physics in Trinity College won the best poster prize in AMBER annual conference for SSLiP project

Dr. Gholamvand won best poster award for presenting SSLiP project to AMBER annual conference participants.

Prof. Georg Duesberg, the organizer of Graphene Week in Munich, discusses the importance of addressing polymeric contamination on 2D materials for applications like electronics and superlubricity.

Importance of 2D materials surface contamination on final application

Prof. Graham Cross delivered a plenary talk on 2D materials self-assembly and application for superlubricity

Prof. Cross introduced the SSLiP project, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at developing frictionless structures and surfaces using 2D materials.

Prof. Astrid S. de Wijn had a lecture in Trinity Fitzgerald lecture theater on Understanding the friction of layered materials

Professor Astrid S. de Wijn delivered an engaging lecture at Trinity Fitzgerald lecture theater, focusing on "Understanding the friction of layered materials in theory and modeling.

Two projects at Trinity will receive funding under an EIC programme to innovative tech research ideas.

The SSLIP project, led by Prof. Graham Cross from TCD, secured 4.5M EIC Pathfinder funding. They aim to achieve "superlubricity," where 2D materials slide with almost no friction.
