Abstract: Atomistic structures can have (sharp) features that are not accounted for in standard continuum theories. A prominent example is a Hertzian contact in which, however, the indenting tip is cut out of a crystal, whereby… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.124.026801
Abstract: Nanoscale silica-silica contacts were recently found to exhibit logarithmic aging for times ranging from 0.1 to 100 s, consistent with the macroscopic rate and state friction laws and several other aging processes. Nanoscale aging in this… read more here.
