We carry out a molecular dynamics study of nanobearings based on double-walled carbon nanotubes with a short rotating outer tube. A (4, 4)/(9, 9) bearing configuration shows peculiar stabilization of rotational motion at certain values of angular velocities. The observed trend is found at those valu...
