Double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) have been proposed to be the leading candidates for high-speed nanobearings owing to superlubric characteristics between adjacent nanotubes. Performance of the DWCNT bearings is closely related to intertube friction, which is influenced by many factors, and in...
