Unexpected speed-dependent friction in graphene

https://phys.org/news/2022-12-unexpected-speed-dependent-friction-graphene.html

"tip of an atomic force microscope is moved across the surface... weak and almost constant frictional force... Above threshold, friction increases with speed of tip... larger the MoirĂ© superstructure the lower the threshold at which friction becomes speed-dependent... greater resistance at ridges of MoirĂ© superstructures during movement of tip... ridges undergo elastic deformation due to pushing tip before relaxing again when pressure sufficiently high... frictional forces increase with speed of  tip"
