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 VO 2 across a thermally‐driven metal–insulator transition temperature. Depending on whether it is insulating or metallic, the friction of VO 2 behaves quite differently with temperature.
