Abstract: The flow of water in carbon nanochannels has defied understanding thus far1, with accumulating experimental evidence for ultra-low friction, exceptionally high water flow rates and curvature-dependent hydrodynamic slippage2-5. In particular, the mechanism of water-carbon friction… read more here.

Abstract: Bodies in relative motion, spatially separated in vacuum, experience a tiny friction force known as quantum friction. This force has eluded experimental detection so far due to its small magnitude and short range. Herein, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physreva.98.032507
Abstract: We study quantum friction and Casimir forces with a full-relativistic formalism for atoms modelled as Unruh-DeWitt detectors in the presence of arbitrary macroscopic objects. We consider the general case of atoms with arbitrary relativistic trajectories… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevb.98.125405
Abstract: We present a theoretical description of energy transfer processes between two noncontact quasi-twodimensional crystals separated by distance a, oscillating with frequency ω0 and amplitude ρ0, and compare it with the case of two quasi-two-dimensional crystals… read more here.
