Besides being one of the oldest scientific curiosities for centuries, today we still lack a complete understanding of dry friction. While the characteristics of friction force between two surfaces in macro-scale and nano-scale systems are quite different, there are also some commoly observed scale independent emergent phenomena such as stick-slip behaviour which might guide a complete theoretical understanding. In this poster, we present our experimental and theoretical results on tribological properties of twisted bilayer graphene. Experimental and theoretical studies on friction between Silicon atomic force microscope tips and various twisted bilayer graphene structures have been extensively studied. We study the effect of twisting angle as well as the sliding direction on friction coefficients and try to interpret the results theoretically.
