Characterization of the microscopic tribological properties of sandfish (Scincus scincus) scales by atomic force microscopy
Lizards of the genus Scincus are widely known under the common name sandfish due to their ability to swim in loose, aeolian sand. Some studies report that this fascinating property of sandfish is accompanied by unique tribological properties of their skin such as ultra-low adhesion, friction and wea...
