Interlayer incommensurateness slippage is an excellent pathway to realize superlubricity of van der Waals materials; however, it is instable and heavily depends on twisted angle and super-smooth substrate which pose great challenges for the practical application of superlubricity. Here, macroscale superlubricity (0.001) is reported on countless nanoscale graphene moiré structure (GMS)-assembled surface via counterface hydrogen (H) modulation. The GMS-assembled surface is formed on grinding balls via sphere-triggered strain engineering. By the H modulation of counterface diamond-like carbon (25 at.% H), the wear of GMS-assembled surface is significantly reduced and a steadily superlubric sliding interface between them is achieved, based on assembly face charge depletion and H-induced assembly edge weakening. Furthermore, the superlubricity between GMS-assembled and DLC25 surfaces holds true in wide ranges of normal load (7-11 N), sliding velocity (0.5-27 cm s), contact area (0.4×10-3.7×10 µm), and contact pressure (0.19-1.82 GPa). Atomistic simulations confirm the preferential formation of GMS on a sphere, and demonstrate the superlubricity on GMS-assembled surface via counterface H modulation. The results provide an efficient tribo-pairing strategy to achieve robust superlubricity, which is of significance for the engineering application of superlubricity.

RNA interference (RNAi) is widely regarded as a promising technology for disease treatment, yet one major obstacle for its clinical application is the lack of enhanced siRNA delivery vehicles to circumvent complex extra- and intracellular barriers. By integrating unique peculiarities of thioglycolic acid conjugated chitosan nanoparticles (TCS NPs), biomimetic transfersomes (T) and amphiphilic hyaluronic acid (HA-GMS), a novel nano-complex was prepared, where vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) siRNA loaded TCS NPs were cloaked by transfersomes with HA-GMS assembled on the surface (HT-TCS-siRNA NPs). The nano-complex provided superior siRNA protection and desirable stability at pH 7.
