Abstract : In article number 1500388, J. Wu, J. Y. Park, and co‐workers present a new route to control friction in micro‐ and nanomechanical applications. The combined effect of phonons and electrons in friction is investigated by probing the nanotribological and electrical properties of VO2 across a thermally‐driven metal–insulator transition temperature. Depending on whether it is insulating or metallic, the friction of VO2 behaves quite differently with temperature.
